Abstract
The idea comes from my real life experience which is the difficult process of remembering a loved one who is no longer present. I shot all the photos with the same structure in a dark environment as portraits. This is to facilitate spectators to immerse in my work by following similar details that repeat from shot to shot. The horizontal trajectory of the work creates an overall narrative shape that turns remembering and memorizing to suffering. The eyes on screen are the transition moments that step by step intensify the effort to bring back people to be remembered.
