ARTIST STATEMENT



 My photography mainly consists of black-and-white photos. I also shoot pictures with a low ISO setting on my digital camera to create hazy images. My images reveal the beauty of dim lighting and details that others might miss. I photograph nature, flowers, friends, and family. I make photos from everyday life based on how I see the world around me. I photograph life in Harle and show life’s imperfections. Gia Han’s photography inspires me because her work has mystery; it is full of hidden meanings while also displaying her personal and cultural identities.
