For me, photography is not only an eye to perceive the world, but also a mirror to reflect myself. The GR has always been my faithful companion through various stages of my creative life, it is like my talisman and an extension of my life. Whether I am on my way to work or out for a walk with my daughter, I always have my GR on my chest or in my hand to capture the unexpected encounters along the way.
My photographic journey began as a search for connections. I like to find all kinds of emotions in the city and capture these heart-touching moments with my camera. These images allow me to feel the subtle connections between people, objects and nature.
Gradually, I have realized that I have been detached from the world, always observing rather than participating. I want to explore my own mind, I want to know what the world means to me, I began to search for my inner voice and try to express my inner feelings, including joy, anger, sadness, and even my hope and despair through my photography.
I collect everything in my life- affection, joy, longing, doubt, pain- to put them into my work. I thank GR for accompanying me on this journey, I can use it with the purest heart and feel life without distractions.

對我而言，攝影不僅是感知世界的眼睛，也是反思自我的鏡子。在不同的創作時期，GR 一直是我的忠實夥伴，它就像是我的護身符，也是我生命的延伸。無論是在外出工作的途中，還是與女兒漫步的時刻，我都會將 GR 掛在胸前或拿在手上，拍下沿途的不期而遇。
我的攝影之旅始於尋找連結，喜歡在城市中尋覓各式各樣的情感，用相機捕捉那些觸動心弦的瞬間。這些畫面讓我感受到人與人、人與物、人與自然之間微妙的聯繫。
逐漸地，我發現自己與世界的疏離，我總是在觀察而不是參與。我想探索自己的心靈，我想知道這世界對我意味著什麼，我開始追尋內心的聲音，試圖用攝影表達我的內在情感，包含喜怒哀樂，甚至是我的希望與絕望。
我將生命中的一切，那些呵護的、喜悅的、憧憬的、疑惑的，痛苦的，都收藏進我的作品裡。感謝GR這一路上陪伴著我，讓我能夠用最純粹的心使用相機，心無旁騖地去感受生命。
