Photo Based Artworks

The flow of time and people I see everyday in different places.

What if there are only one colour and one texture? Do they still exist.

My feeling when I see colours. When a lot of them looks similar.

“Re-arranging” landscape.

Flood and burn at the same time.

Forest scenery and smell in a box. A work for visual and scent.

The final project and blessing to UofT Class of 25. Flowers that’s not flowers.

These are the work that are based on photo to create.

Including ordinary photo, manipulation of physically printed photograph.

Strong visual impact and presence is one of the important concept I hold. As I want to make the work to be something unusual and to have a special experience to the audience. I hope that you will enjoy seeing my work!

I like to use a lot of colours in the work. I like to use vivid colours to create the lively feeling but sometimes it is because simply I think it matches.

I am not to the point of blind like can’t distinguish all the colours. But fot the colours that are similar I cannot differentiate them.

Like blue and purple, light yellow and light green, green and brown. But this problem has made me to freely create a lot of things and create an unusual harmony.

A few works are like photographing a mini model set like Blinded by Colours, and Home; Flood Water and Wild Fire. This skill is called Constructed photography.

I chose to use this approach and technique with lighting setup and light painting to build up the scene so as to create the unrealistic yet a bit dramatic atmosphere for the work.

In my last two works, I tried to push photos presentation a bit further. As I consider photo as a fast medium, which means people only check the photo quickly and leave for something else.

I tried adding more elements to the experience of seeing photos. That’s why I used scent and altering the viewing angles of photo to extend the time required to see and experience the photo.
