Story of the Fragmented

A digital archive of overlooked objects and their accompanied moments.

There are some things that we can’t grasp. It slips away from our hands. We pass through places every day where we never stay for long. We overlook the subtle details, the quiet moments that could tell a story if only we paused to notice.

But parts are still remaining. By capturing images that fills the gap of the unseen or neglected, I am attempting to piece puzzles from daily encounters together, to preserve disappearance and its residue.

It is the story of the fragmented.

Portrait of a Decaying Neighborhood

This series is intended to capture the traces of time on a nearby neighborhood, originally with old town houses, that became confiscated. Walking by it, I see the changes from doors locked, walls peeled, lights turned off, and everything left there not being touched. Almost only ruins are left.

I took the approach in a more abstract and discrete form, photographing mostly the dusty walls and corners. As I press the shutter button, I tried to keep the neighborhood as a souvenir and a lens to the past.

Keys to the Past

This series is inspired by a set of keys from previous rooms in my home. While the keys remain, the locks have long since vanished, leaving only fragments of the whole. By intertwining objects — an abandoned door and these old keys — I assembled a new portal to the past. The spotlights on the keys acts as a guiding light, leading to another place and time.

Elsewhere, Meanwhile

Captured through open source live surveillance cameras around the world, these images reveal hidden, nocturnal landscapes. Featuring views of the nights from the dark, hidden location. Human presence is subtly hinted but never fully shown.

Through the Looking Glass

When looking through the aquariums, corals, water plants, and bubbles emerge. Lights and reflections merged into the scene and become a part of the underwater world. Yet much remain hidden in the corners, often unseen.

Veins

This series is an attempt to penetrate and uncover the intricate dynamics between body parts and its surroundings. By illuminating these subjects, I aim to capture the veins and layers hidden beneath the surface.

Inspired by Posthumanist Performativity: Toward an Understanding of How Matter Comes to Matter, it draws on the concept of performativity as an iterative process of intra-activity, where matter—both human and nonhuman—is continuously reshaped through acts and interventions.
