This project combines nature and the human figure, using the psychological landscape to explore the coexistence of humans and nature. The project is inspired by the ancient Eastern philosophy, the Tao Te Ching, written by Lao Tzu (5th-century BC), which emphasizes the notion that humans should be in balance with nature, even as one. In Donna J. Haraway's ‘When Species Meet’ (1989), this idea is illustrated in more detail and in a more modern way. Haraway claims that humans are a species that depends on companionship. The pets, plants, and trees that accompany humans in life also in turn influence the position and evaluation of each person in society. As I would like to emphasize through photography, humans and other natural species are essentially the same, mutually constituting and fulfilling each other, in a sense no different from insects, plants, and trees.

 

Therefore, through the combination of landscape photography and photographic post-production, in a surreal way, to reveal the sameness of humans and other species.  I try to describe the material relevance of humans to the earth and their psychological dependence on nature, to express an uneasy psychological space,  exploring the subtle connection between humans and nature.
