Intermission / 中场 (2024)

这个项目最早起源于一次春天的日落，晚霞柔和地洒我家屋顶上那些晾晒的床单和衣物之上。有那么一瞬间，我感觉我被带回到了童年，那些晚上在姥姥家躺在充满阳光味道的被子里的时光。这种对家和过去的回忆时常浮现在我的脑海里，驱使着我去捕捉快速变化的世界中那些平凡的日常传统。这组作品聚焦于我的家乡中那些稀松平常的场景，尤其是中午时分晾晒床单和衣物的画面，这些场景象征着日常生活中短暂的停顿。

晾晒被单床单这一行为，大都发生在正午，是一天之中的中场。同时这些被晾晒的衣物和床单都像是话剧的中场休息的幕布一样，遮挡占据了大部分画面。

通过镜头，我探索这些瞬间如何成为城市生活中宁静的中场休息，为忙碌的节奏带来片刻的简单与延续。这一项目不仅是对时间的反思，也是对过去的尊重与对未来的希望。每张照片都讲述着深厚的家庭纽带与传统故事，试图唤起人们关于家的共同情感与回忆。

The Intermission project began with a spring sunset casting a soft glow on the clothes drying on my family's rooftop, transporting me back to childhood evenings at my grandmother's home. This nostalgia inspired me to capture the essence of everyday traditions in our fast-paced world. My work focuses on these commonplace scenes in my hometown, particularly the airing of linens and garments at noon, symbolising a pause in our daily hustle. Through my lens, I explore how these moments become tranquil intermissions in urban life, offering glimpses of simplicity and continuity. This project represents a reflection on time, a respect for the past, and a hope for the future. Each photo weaves a story of deep familial connections and traditions, aiming to resonate with shared emotions and memories about home.
