TRIBUTE

︎ Tribute is an exploratory series surrounding Buddhist temples of different sects in private, off the path, and residential places in the New York City, Upstate New York, and in the suburbs of Central New Jersey. At the finale, I produced a 8.25 in x 8.25 in handmade binded book. This hard covered book is lined with traditional colors of gold flecked red paper and layered with pearlescent cream paper. Materials include ink, vellum, matte photos of resonation along side out of context text from Buddhist scripture. ︎ This project was taken on a Hasselblad 500CM on 120mm Kodak Ektar 400 film.

小心

︎  This is a series taken while travelling into Hong Kong, throughout China, and in the small island Macau. These are places I never been to, but have great familiarity with through blood, culture, and ways of living. However, the perspectives of being a tourist and an outsider are blurred when  there is a disconnect being in my mother’s motherland for the first time.  “小心“ is an common expression that means “be careful”, but its literal mean is little heart.  ︎ This project was taken on 35MM Fuji Velvia 400 Film.

︎ This is on ongoing series of my favorite views and places of Atlanta. In the City of Atlanta, each neighborhood are considered especially unique. In my southwest neighborhood and around Atlanta proper, my dedication to capture these beautiful places around me are images of an elite collection known as the atl and then some. These are their environmental portraits.
