Abstract: Honorable Mention 2015 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
In this image, the black and white stripes implies the disadvantageous and vulnerable substance of female. Like a zebra, women have to arm themselves to prevent from the pillagers. The stripes also insinuate the scars that women have been seared insidiously. Their bodies are often the target of physical attack or language violence. Even more, they are materialized to satiate men's desire or submit to men's prestige.
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.
