A deal with God
The heart of Hell is not fire, but ice.
Cold as hatred, dehumanization and relational death. The body is enveloped by the cold waters of the Cocytus and at that moment all desire is extinguished and man can only contemplate his failure.
Cryogenized in this immense river, which separates the world of the living from that of the dead, the human being becomes stone, soulless, insignificant, mute and inert.

Delivery man.
At 6 p.m., when everyone is leaving work, there are people busy working. A deliveryman who is busy making deliveries stops for a moment at a red light and takes a short break.

Playful minds
The curiosity of children and adolescents knows no limits. It breaks boundaries and runs fast down a road full of creativity. Anything will serve the purpose to have a good time alone or with friends and also to exploring the environment, others and, above all, themselves. I believe that technology and creativity can create a good and health relationship enhancing each other. What happens when no smart gadgets are available for the young ones?

A scene from the play Cinderella, Pionki, July 25, 2023,
In Pionki, a town in the Masovian Voivodeship, a center for people with mental disabilities has been operating for 25 years. The center also has a puppet theater. They stage classic fairy tales like Cinderella and Snow White. They make all the puppets, stage props, and scenery; most plays occur outdoors.

Reverb+Graphy -Galactic Railroad in Reverbration
My thematic work, "Reverb+Graphy," is an attempt to visualize images of present scenes and past memories that play like reverberations in the brain. To embody this concept, I use prismatic lens filters that create an amplifying effect. This work is a spin-off of "Reverb+Graphy." I was inspired by images from "Night on the Galactic Railroad," a masterpiece of Japanese children's literature that I was familiar with as a child, and "Galaxy Express 999," an animated film created from an original sto

A City’s Tradition and Modernity - 3
Beijing is a city with a history of more than 3,000 years and one of the cities with the most world cultural heritage in the world. At the same time, as the capital of China, it is a modern city with a population of more than 20 million. When walking in this city, you often see the collision of tradition and modernity, and you often have the illusion of traveling through history and the future.

Don't forget to go home
As a foreign student from a large city in southern China, my first year of college in Williamsburg, Virginia, has been filled with a mixture of excitement, overwhelm, loneliness, and nostalgia. Living in such a contrasting environment was an unprecedented experience for me. This body of work delves into my feelings of being an alien in this new 'home,' where I constantly explored my surroundings, questioned my sense of belonging, and reflected on my connections to family.

Eaglehunter Huanjol, Last of his Name
For thousand of years, nomadic hunters used birds of prey as a valuable hunting companion across the northern steppes from Eurasia to China. The relationship between the hunter & the eagle is forged when the eagle was a wee eaglet & the image symbolizes a trusted bond between the two. Here is eagle hunter Huanjol, a fine master in the traditional art & knowledge (tak) of taming eagles. He has no children. His unique way of training, as described by an older eagle hunter is threatened to be lost
