This is a photo contemporary collage project based on modern art. Greatly influenced by natural figures and artificial textures. I love to collect black and white photos of female portraits, cutting out the parts and stripping them from the original context, combining them with the abstract design figure, to get a new composition. This project is about 'she', every single piece has a unique female image, and each composition has a different character. Mysterious women are always a very attractive point to me. Ideally, behind every independent female figure, I want the audience to see a gentle but strong female image. Its basic sense is to make her seem to have life, when she smiles or looks up, every move is gentle and beautiful. "Memory" is another word I would like to mention in this project. Behind every one of my works, there is a memory of different-sometimes or that one day. It almost mirrors my time, my thoughts, and my personality. like a quote from Kurt Cobain's journals "I use bits and pieces of other's personalities to form my own." I am always thinking about who am I or who should I be, and finally I find the answer in art. When you lose yourself in life, thankfully I could express myself in these artworks.
This captivating artwork presents a striking fusion of portraiture and abstract collage. Set against a stark black background, a grayscale, vintage-style figure is partially obscured by vibrant, irregular patches of color. The patches evoke a sense of dreamlike skies, featuring hues of blue, pink, and orange, merging seamlessly with the subject’s visage. This juxtaposition of classic and contemporary elements creates a dynamic interplay between reality and imagination. The illusion of depth and movement is skillfully achieved, as the portrait appears to emerge from, and dissolve into, the abstract forms. The artwork challenges the viewer to contemplate identity and transformation, offering a visually rich and thought-provoking experience. It masterfully blends tradition with modern artistic expression, establishing a dialogue between different eras and styles.
