Every Incarnation of Me

Endless Mystery is themed by “indulgence”. Suppose a person is completely indulged in a certain kind of peaceful, intoxicating, or exciting thinking, when he is distracted and his consciousness is out of the body, he may have no perception of self-existence. Also, as his consciousness is back, he may even have an illusion of a temporary loss of memory.

1. Have you had weird dreams lately?

2. What gives you a sense of indulgence? 

3. If you do not live as a human in this world, what do you think your physical form will be?

From the perspective of these three questions and answers, my friends and I had a spiritual adventure of reality and fantasy. At my invitation, they served as performers. First, their active and motionless states in a particular space are captured. Then, when they left, the particular space was captured. Finally, the pictures that I imagined were restored and recreated. Through the pictures that finally presented, my hope is to translate and explore the subject of “self-existence” triggered by “indulgence”.

The Night Is Burning

What's done is done. It means that the tree has made a boat. I want to find some way to get along with the world peacefully through photography, complete a transformation of self-contradictory emotions, and collect and release some secret energy. Perhaps it can be a hint: although good and bad have been in a continuous cycle, but as long as willing to try, you can start again at any time, I believe that my life will always appear new hope.
