Can we still believe in love in this era? Yes.
URBAN URBAN LOVE LOVE
The uniqueness of the individual is often hidden in the sprawling city.

I'm from China, and I'm currently a graduate student in urban design major in New York. I use both digital and film cameras. Influenced by my urban design background, I started to perceive the world through photography many years ago. While looking at the world through the frame,
I am passionate about the three themes of the city, love and everyday life. I believe that these three subjects are both independent of each other and also have a magical connection.
I hope that these three themes will help me to observe the changes of this era from the perspective of the other and try to record them through the technique of photography.

URBAN - NewYork
Chapter 1.
“He adored New York City. For him, it was a metaphor for the decay of contemporary culture. The same lack of individual integrity that caused so many people to take the easy way out was rapidly turning the town of his dreams in...”
― Woody Allen, Manhattan

Daily-Life
We're all trapped in the cage of reason.
The repetition of uninteresting life routines has become the antidote to the proliferation of standardization in this era. When withdrawing from the perspective of a third party to view life, I was fascinated by the charm of the 'Daily-Life'.
