ENTRY DESCRIPTION
I create a series of images to represent the collective portrait of traditional oriental women, to probe into their roles under the constraints of ethics and rites in their culture environment. “Luo Shen Beauty” is a Chinese ancient legend, as well as a myth, which depicts a queen missed her dead husband too much then committed suicide by jumping into River Luo. People admired her fond love, esteemed her as a model of fidelity, and worshiped her as the Goddess of River Luo.

But in the viewpoint of today, this woman (traditional women) has no ego at all. Her life totally depends on male's salvation.

AUTHOR
I come from Taiwan. I got a master degree from Taipei National University of the Arts (TNUA) in Taiwan. Now I'm teaching Visual Arts in universities and colleges.

For me, the most difficult things to express by photography is to depict one's internal feelings , thoughts, and beliefs. Therefore, I prefer to infuse elements of aesthetics and philosophy into my photos, rather than only record what I see from the outside world. That's to say: " I feel, I think, so I shoot."

My works reflect the mixture of both western and oriental elements. I try to stride across the boundary of form and structure by keeping trying, and make the invisible visible.
