“Like A Moth to the Flame” is an idiom in Chinese. It means metaphorically to go to the desired goal regardless of everything.

I use color and fabric texture to connect the two images. The shapes are inspired by animals and plants. Moths, animalized flames; flowers and flowing water. Through the contrast and combination of stiffness, transparency and colour in the fabric, the dynamic balance of the two sides is presented.

Like A Moth to the Flame 飛 蛾 撲 火
攝影創作｜2020

蛾 與 火 女

飛蛾撲火  也要朝你的方向去
或是你嚮往照明  忘記火有多弱
麟粉於翅  流星  翅向星焰撲
我的眼睛  你闖入這裡燃燒

Moths are going
in your direction./

Or you yearn for lighting
and forget how weak the fire is.

The meteor wings pounced
on the star flame.

My eyes, you broke in here
and burned.
