"I am a traveler in an unknown time and space,
Looking for light, shadow and color as clues,
Groping the skin texture of the city,
Light and shadow are like the brush of time,
And the colors carry the emotions of the earth. "
“Surface to Soul" is an ongoing project for more than five years about me as a traveler to catch every abstract language from light, shadow, color and texture for my familiar hometown — Taiwan.
With an intuitive shooting method,
It records the abstraction of the urban streetscape and preserves the light of island time.
Looking at photography from the point of view of painting,
All the space in the far and near views,
Visual imagination fully compressed into a flat canvas,
At the same time, it gives emotion and poetry in the imagination.
Whether it is the gradual scenery like the superimposition of layers of paint or the pattern of the mottled exterior wall is scattered as sandpaper scraping paints on canvas.
In the world of photography, light itself is a painting medium.
The visual point of view also comes from my peculiar daily life in which I have both myopia and hyperopia.
The picturesque picture dissolves the boundary between reality and illusion, as if it exists in every inconspicuous detail of life.
「靈魂表裡」
“我是未知時空裡的旅人，
尋著光影、色彩作為線索，
摸索著城市的肌膚紋理，
凝視著山海的各種姿態，
光影如時間的畫筆，
而顏色則承載著大地的情緒。”
此系列「靈魂表裡」為長達五年多的生活觀察，
以直覺性地拍攝手法，
記錄著城市街景的抽象，
留存著島嶼時間裡的光。
以繪畫之觀點看待攝影，
將遠景與近景裡的所有空間，
全壓縮至平面畫布裡的視覺想像，
亦同時在想像裡賦予情緒與詩意。
無論是漸層的景緻猶如顏料層層疊加，
斑駁外牆錯落著的圖樣，
就像砂紙在畫布上抹除的痕跡。
在攝影的世界裡，
光本身就是一種繪畫媒材。
我的視覺觀點來自於同時擁有近視與遠視的奇特日常裡，
那如詩如畫的畫面，
消融著現實與幻象的邊界，
彷彿就存於每一個不起眼的生活細微裡。
