MA Photography The Image & Electronic Arts
This series of images were taken during my hotel and home quarantine. It explores a state of self against boredom and anxiety in a completely enclosed environment.
My photos are characterised by the use of everyday objects, as well as some parts of my body and plants to form some unusual or even weird scenes, which upsets a certain balance under a calm atmosphere, meanwhile, reflects my contradictory and Struggling emotions. The boundary between calmness and anxiety also seems to be blurred. Moreover, through my photos, I also want to express a state of relative stillness in a fast-paced society.
About Xinshi
My works explore a state of self against boredom and anxiety in a completely enclosed environment.
This series of images were taken during my hotel and home quarantine. This period of time gave me a complex emotion. In this extremely enclosed environment, everything around has been magnified. You have to pay attention to them, because there are few alternatives. Therefore, it also gives me an opportunity to focus more on myself. Self-exploration has always been a topic that I am particularly interested in.
