Wandering Dogs
Photography / Installation
2020-2021
I found a two Yuan store that seemed like it was about to close down. I took pictures, interviewed locals and customers, and brought the items back to my studio. Even though these items have lost their purpose, they still hold a certain life-like quality. I look at them with a childlike curiosity and use simple techniques like winding, collage, balancing, and stacking to transform them into practical objects, decorations, and sculptures. I want to show tenderness towards these objects and the communities they represent.
