Living in the post-covid19 era, I feel strange about my surroundings. So I am trying to jump out of the comfort zone of the past and starting to rediscover this city: plants and facilities of this city strick on me of the connection between the surroundings and myself. When seeing the neatly trimmed shrubs, I feel like an electric current shocking me so that I can relate to the comeback of these orders and disorders. Thus, I am eager to perceive and join them in the post-covid19 era, letting photos encapsulate vision, touch and other reflections.

在2022年1月我离开了熟悉的环境，来到了一个完全陌生的城市，在后疫情时代，这使我跳脱出怠惰茫然的舒适圈。我开始用不同的视角观察伦敦这座城市：自然植物、街上大大小小的事物，让我重新审视自我本身与周遭物质环境间的联系——当我被修剪的整整齐齐的灌木吸引，体会有序和无序的事物正在回归，一股发麻过电般的感觉从脚底流窜到指尖。我想在特殊时点的背景下，去感知介入这一切，用照片定格视觉，触觉与更多的思考。

Order and disorder are returning,

Before I Watch,

Before I Touch.
