Concept

Using nature and domestic animals as motifs, through the act of photography, I express connection and intimacy with the subject through an animistic view of nature. The moment of shooting by shining strobe light as if dissolving the boundary between self and other not only captures the beauty of nature but also the light hidden within it, suggesting a future that is realistic yet surreal.
