    The Theatre of Everyday Life: at MAXXI in Rome

    Last year, I lived in Rome and spent a lot of time at the MAXXI museum. While the museum is famous for its big, impressive architecture and modern art, what really caught my attention were the small, everyday moments happening around me. I’ve never been interested in grand scenes or famous people. Instead, I look…

  • When Stillness Speaks

    When Stillness Speaks

    Sometimes, you just need to stand still. In a world obsessed with movement and action, the simple act of staying in one place can reveal something truly fascinating. It’s not even about what’s out there, but rather, the moment you capture transforms into fluid thoughts and elusive images. These images, fleeting and seemingly meaningless, become…

  • Fragments

    Fragments

    The city lights flicker insistently and annoyingly in the night, bodies and cars dissolving in the uncertain human condition that bares its teeth in the darkness. The night sky reverberates with electricity, and violet clouds form the roof of the industrial age. Walking through the streets of Shanghai, every corner holds a story, fragments of…

    Commuter

    Riding the commuter train, it’s a heavy burden that weighs not just on the body, but on the spirit, as we navigate through a sea of faces lost in the rhythm of routine, each one carrying their own silent stories and unspoken struggles. We find ourselves crammed into overcrowded public transport, where personal space becomes…

  • HUQIU Camera

    HUQIU Camera

    Here in Shanghai, I snagged a small HUQIU 351, a camera born in Suzhou some sixty odd years ago. (It’s growing my interest in Chinese cameras.) It snaps quite well, but the rangefinder ain’t the most reliable. I have to tap it on the side to line it up, which ain’t exactly confidence-inspiring. So, I’ve…

  • Shanghai Wandering

    Shanghai Wandering

    Late-night stroll through the streets of Shanghai. The city lights casting their glow over the bustling streets, painting everything in this surreal kind of vibe. As I walk, I can't help but notice how the lives of those heading home, just like me, intertwine with those who are just stepping out, venturing off to who…

  • Chasing the Sun

    Chasing the Sun

    Spring creeps in like a sly cat, coaxing the city out of its winter hibernation. In Shanghai, where the streets pulse with a relentless energy, the arrival of spring is both a blessing and a fleeting moment of respite. It’s a time when everyone craves a taste of the sun, a moment to bask in…

    Sunday at the Park

    On Sundays, moments blur together, and meanings layer upon one another, creating a soft fusion that allows us to forget about complexities. It's a day when interests dissolve, merging seamlessly into the simple pleasures that give meaning to everything else.

  • Intimate Kaleidoscope

    Intimate Kaleidoscope

    I was thinking that within the haven of intimacy, where being is sculpted and distilled, stands the delicate barrier between self and other, known as the intimate, a realm of ineffable communion, where one is uncovered and lost in the other: a symphony of interwoven essences. “And what is it about a room, a house,…

    Solitude in Traffic

    Experience the solitude and silence amidst the chaos of traffic in this short piece. Reflect on the wastefulness of individual car usage and pollution, while also finding joy in the peaceful moments on the way home to the loved ones.
