More About Glitters Exhibition Photography Series
Glitters is a photography series that studies the surface of sequin fabric. The series treats an ordinary functional material as a medium for abstract painting. Human contact changes the sequins in an irreversible way, and each mark is recorded by the camera. The images move from macro to micro views to explore material, texture, color and light. Chance, lighting and intuition guide the experimental approach. The photographs were taken with a digital camera and processed with digital software. Prints are made in a limited edition on fine art paper and plexiglass in four sizes.

We are the creators of our own universe. By standing in the perspective of an observer without holding any definition of the world, the selflessness allows you to see the world with infinite points and possibilities. Each work is uniquely reflecting how my current emotions, frequency and consciousness connecting to the 3-dimension world at specific point of time. They are the language of my soul.
