What pieces or projects have you been working on lately?
<\/strong>I have been working on a project titled\u00a0If The Wind Lingers<\/em>, which explores the interior self in an era defined by hyper-connectivity and social acceleration. By deliberately abandoning sharp focus, I aim to mirror the fluidity of time, using motion and the unseen wind as a brush to paint with light, shadow, texture, and atmosphere. As colors blend and light sweeps across the frame, the scenes transform into something closer to a lingering memory than a physical reality, capturing not just what a place looks like, but what it feels like to be there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What did you learn (or unlearn) while working on it?<\/strong>
Conceptually, I am learning the quiet act of living in the present. This project serves as a visual refuge for the interior self: a practice of slowing down to accept the transient beauty we are destined to let go of. Technically, I have been exploring ways to create pictorial, painterly photography that evokes a deeply poetic and nostalgic sensibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What words, ideas or emotions were running through your head?<\/strong>
Quietness, rhythm, harmony, tranquility, and serenity. I was also deeply focused on the concepts of temporality and impermanence throughout the creative process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Were there any conversations, movies, music, or books that made their way into that work?
<\/strong>Yes, quite a few. In literature, Hartmut Rosa\u2019s\u00a0Social Acceleration: A New Theory of Modernity<\/em>\u00a0and Guy Debord\u2019s\u00a0The Society of the Spectacle<\/em>\u00a0are highly relevant to my work. Cinematically, I am always inspired by Hong Kong director Wong Kar-Wai, especially\u00a0Chungking Express<\/em>, which beautifully explores themes of time, memory, temporality, and human connection. I also drew inspiration recently from Japanese manga artist Tatsuki Fujimoto\u2019s\u00a0Look Back<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What’s been the most difficult thing you’ve faced recently in your creative process?<\/strong>
I\u2019ve been struggling a bit with my choice of subject matter. I am currently trying to find the right balance, deciding whether to focus more on floral elements, human figures, or explore entirely new subjects to best convey my concepts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What is your favorite coffee shop and why do you like going there?<\/strong>
My favourite coffee shop is called Kubrick<\/strong><\/a>, located inside the Broadway Cinematheque in Hong Kong, which is my favourite movie theater. It\u2019s much more than just a caf\u00e9; it is also a vibrant cultural hub that brings together books, indie films, vinyl records, and an art gallery. It\u2019s a wonderful space dedicated to cultural promotion and creative inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If your life were a movie this month, what would it be called and who would write the soundtrack?<\/strong>
I\u2019d title it ETA2824-2<\/em>, named after the mechanical movement of a watch I bought to reward and encourage myself before relocating to Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life is much like a mechanical watch, with its constant ticking that can sometimes make you feel anxious about the passage of time. However, that same rhythm can also be incredibly calming, peaceful, and meditative. I gained a stronger sense of this as I experienced more ups and downs this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the soundtrack, it would be amazing to be scored by Sigur R\u00f3s or Explosions in the Sky, my favourite post-rock bands known for their atmospheric music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Which studios, laboratories, or workshops have you collaborated with recently or would you like to collaborate with in the future?<\/strong>
I haven\u2019t recently, but I would be more than happy to collaborate in the future. I am open to working with other studios, labs, or creatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Recommend one or more artists you follow who inspire you, and tell us what you like most about their work or their way of working.
<\/strong>I draw a lot of inspiration from photographers like Masao Yamamoto<\/strong><\/a>, Saul Leiter<\/strong><\/a>, and Thadd\u00e4us<\/strong><\/a>, as well as painters like Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot and J\u00f3zsef Rippl-R\u00f3nai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about their work is their masterful use of atmosphere and emotion. Whether through a painterly approach to color like Leiter, or the delicate, poetic quietness of Yamamoto, they all capture the essence and feeling of a moment rather than just its literal reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
