Major Works
Winter and Summer
Prize: Gold, Prix de la Photographie Paris (PX3), 2025
This photograph was captured on the beach at Repulse Bay in Hong Kong during the winter Christmas holiday. The scene vividly illustrates the contrasting lifestyles of two generations in Hong Kong. Despite the chill of winter, elderly residents continue to exercise in summer-like attire, while the contemporary youth prefer a more relaxed leisure mode, often engaging in remote social interactions through their smartphones. Intruding into the frame are mechanical structures and utility poles, serving as metaphors for how industrialization and digitization have transformed people's lives.
The Bridge
Prize: Honorable Mention and Official Selection, International Photography Awards (IPA), 2024
Set on a summer afternoon on Queen's Road, Hong Kong, "The Bridge" captures a moment where two strangers intersect on a zebra crossing, framed by a distinctive flyover and bathed in the soft glow of the setting sun. This image symbolizes the potential for connection in the urban rush, suggesting that bridges of understanding can shine through the city's chaos like sunlight between buildings. This photograph explores the intersections of daily life and human resilience, reflecting on our ability to overcome divides and illuminate the collective human spirit.
