The Slow Shadow
One night while googling kyo-machiya, I stumbled upon an old tube introducing a book “In Praise of Shadows”. Soft shadow creation through translucency of shoji screen, weak glitters reflection by gold-painted dividers, adrift floatation of cloudy miso within a darkly black lacquered bowl, voyage across deliberately and purposefully in slow train and lower-classed cabin, all these are narrated in this book, a philosophic form of oriental beautification. I desire this orientality, and early before reading even unconsciously my values, creations, livings, and thinkings are already in this form. The deliberately slow pace that I embrace in my art is not a sign of laziness or disadvantage, but rather an intentional approach that allows me to observe the world more deeply and thoughtfully. I believe small and tiny subtlety becomes only discoverable and explorable in turtled paces.

漫光微影
在我搜尋京都古老大屋時，無意中看到了一個介紹《陰翳禮讚》的視頻，講述日本文化中的東方美，譬如微弱日光穿透紙拉門做出嚟的陰影，金箔屏障反射出蠟燭的殘光，用黑漆湯碗裝滿浮而不沉的味噌，特意地乘搭慢車及三等箱，描述東方人生活的節奏以及美的哲學。看罷這本書後才發現原來某程度上我對於事物、創作、生活都不知不覺間甚至乎更早便已經認同這一種「東方美」。就好像書中提及到，怠慢的思維不一定比一直衝的思維差，沒有慢下來的心情是很難去體會一些微細瑣碎的事物，更不能夠從中得到無限的啟發。

About
I am a visual artist based in Hong Kong, born in 1975. My creative practice involves using generative software and photography to create art. I began posting my photography on Instagram in 2013, where I focused on minimalistic representation and juxtaposition of architecture against silhouettic human bodies. I use generative applications to make distortion, subversion, and reformation of my photographic images. Recently, I have expanded my art practice to include abstract geometric art, which I started minting in 2022.
關於
1975年出生於香港，我是一名跨領域藝術家，我會使用生成軟件和攝影來創作藝術作品。 2013 年開始在 IG 上載攝影作品，專注於用極簡手法來表現和並置建築物、人體、與身體的剪影，還會使用生成應用程序對攝影圖像進行扭曲、顛覆和改造。 2022 年開始鑄造抽象幾何圖象。
