Autophagy
Autophagy, delves deeper into the concept of self-destruction and rebirth, draws inspiration and analogy from the process of natural self-destruction & regeneration of cells within the human body to the journey of life. Especially focusing on the young generation who is grappling with challenges in life with stories I gathered from my friends or people I met in coincidence (Substance abuse, uncertainty about the future, sense of disconnection and isolation in various relationships..etc). The series is meant to portray their battle within the vortex, where they experienced destruction and emerge reborn, witnessing their inner struggle and transformation amidst turmoils. Autophagy represents my response as an artist to the struggles experienced by the younger generation and my exploration of the cyclical nature of life and the transformative power inherent within it. Apart from the internal aspects, this series adopts Pictorialism as the main style of photography, drawing inspiration from symbolism and incorporating a range of symbols (props, posture of the object, color tone, etc..) from a subjective standpoint to elucidate narratives. Aim to achieve not only a distinctive visual appeal but also to effectively convey the emotions and stories conveyed by the photographs
