I am a photographic artist currently studying in the Photography Department at the Royal College of Art. Before this, I spent five years documenting the lives of 100 middle-class families in China's first-tier cities, witnessing all stages of life, including birth, growth, ageing, and death. I have a keen ability to observe and uncover the emotional relationships and their underlying causes. This project has continually prompted me to reflect on and construct the relationship between individuals and families, and the connection between families and society. To me, photography is not just about the image itself; it represents cultural and social identity. Themes of time, memory, relationship and death have always permeated my creative career, influenced by contemporary conceptual art. The medias include installations, moving images, and sound. Multimodal expression helps me convey complex emotions and perceptions more effectively to the audience, sparking deep reflections on contemporary life and drawing attention to the subtle emotions and everyday details that are easily overlooked in our fast-paced society.
