THE ESSENCE OF BEING
Dec - April 2023
"The Essence of Being"
Through lines, angles, and shapes, this body of work emphasises on simple compositions and space intentionally left blank. This project embodies my ideal kind of life—a simple one.
Many people spend so much of their lives seeking approval from those around them. In the process of that pursuit, they lose their identity as they conform to other people's definition of success. There is no right or wrong way to live. However, I see great value in living an authentic life. We do not need to be a different version of ourselves to please other people. To live life to the fullest, we must embrace who we are and stay true to ourselves regardless of what others might think. From time to time, we need to pause and evaluate the direction we are headed towards.
I hope that through the series you will reflect on your own journey and live more authentically.
《原初—原先，最初。》
攝影集的作品主要圍繞著線條、角度和形狀。透過簡單的構圖和刻意留下的空白，照片道出我認為人生應該活得純粹的態度，也同時希望事物能回復到最原始的本質。
現今世代太多人只著重物質上的追求並渴望功成名就，不斷地把生活填滿，希望能得到所謂的成功，結果連停下來喘息的時間也沒有。雖然不存在絕對的人生態度，每個人都有權利選擇他們生活的方式，但我覺得與其碌碌無為，不如腳踏實地地做人。別人的掌聲只是過眼煙雲的光彩，自我的認同才能在失意時提醒我們當初為了甚麼而奮鬥。我們不用誰的肯定，只需要活出自己想要的模樣，過著對得起自己的人生便足夠。
在繁華的喧鬧中尋找平靜；
在虛孚的世界中保持平庸，
也許終有一日會明白平淡不等於平凡。
願您能透過這些照片，回望過去人生的高低起伏；回想一開始究竟為了甚麼打拼。
願您能回到最真實的自己。
