✧ To reach the other end 

The project is an emotive answer to my question at this stage of my life: how can everyone reach themselves and other people properly so that they understand each other? 

I photographed people at the two opposite river banks in Rhinebeck and Kingston to answer this question through photography. These are the two physical ends. There are also people and their imaginary ends. My photography subjects and I also consist of two ends. 

Rhinecliff Boat Landing Spot- Kingston Beach

People (Body)- People (Mind)

Me- Other People

I think a lot about the ethics of photography. For the project, I’ve decided not to look for anything particular in anyone, which made the process spontaneous and almost arduous. I believe there are no simple pathways in or out of any relationship, and I like fluidities over fixities. I hope to relay the dignity and humanity that I saw in each person the moment I tried to reach.

✧去向另一端

这个项目是我对人生这阶段某个问题的感性答案，这个问题是：每一个人该如何去向他们自己和他人，以一种恰如其分的方式？

为了回应这个想法，我开始在河的两岸，分别位于Rhinebeck和Kingston的地方拍摄肖像。这是物理概念上的两端。也有人与他们想象中的另一端。拍摄对象和我也构成了两端。

Rhinecliff泊船处—Kingston沙滩

人（外在）—人（内心）

我—他人

我时常对摄影行为中的道德性进行思考。项目中，我决定不去追寻拍摄对象身上某个预设好的特征，让这个项目充满随机到近乎艰巨。我相信任何关系的始末都没有捷径，而比起定论，我更喜欢流动。在我去向他者的过程中所看到的尊严和人性，我希望通过这些影像转达。
