no interference.

The China girl is melting herself with her different images different personas which has many characters many colors. She is a substitute object for the man who she loves. She creates different colors, shapes as much as she could, to satisfy the man’s imagination of another girl, he used to love. She plays hard… in the end the man noticed Miss Who is not Miss Who anymore, is a girl who has such power, strength and quality inside than him, and he played her role…

4  A song for nature& future — who is it

(………A song asking me, to think about who inspired me. Who do I turn to to pick up, keep me going. I believe all stories had a theme of connected-ness. We are all linked. And humans must be close to one another to achieve peace. My inspirational muse of nature, of a simple friend is the strongest link I can have. They give me a crown that makes me feel like I can rule the world. Just to feel that way. And then I hand it over to the next person and inspire someone myself.

Crossover – When lyric met image

 Crossover
When lyric met image
This illustrated book showcases the crossover relationship between design, poems, music, fashion, art and technology.
At the nexus of these movements is a new wave of images that breaks ground through conceptualism, cultural referencing,
digital imaging, photo manipulation and use of contemporary media.
Those images and lyrics are mixed hazy fantasy, displayed a flexibility of technique, casting and conceptualization.
My interests center on the fantastical and my desire to create alternative worlds.
An image is a poem without words.

Let your heart
Run along to the rhythm of your song
Let your heart
Run along to the rhythm of your song
Run along to the rhythm of your song
Run along to the rhythm of your song
Run along to the rhythm of your song
Run along to the rhythm of your song
Run along to the rhythm of your song
Everything you want is what I’ve got to give you
You just have to let yourself come with me now
Everything you want is what I’ve got to give you
There’s no time to hesitate, come with me now
There’s no time to hesitate, come with me now
Let’s go and watch the sunrise
over london bridge
Over golden gate

All I need is a little time
To get behind this sun
And cast my weight
All I need is a peace of this mind
Then I can celebrate
All in all there’s something to give
All in all there’s something to do
All in all there’s something to live
With you
All I need is a little sign
To get behind this sun
And cast this weight of mine
All I need is the place to find
And there I’ll celebrate
All in all there’s something to give
All in all there’s something to do
All in all there’s something to live
With you, with you

 

All I need
Air

 

 

Don’t think about all those things you fear.
Just be glad to be here.
Hayling

I know so many places in the world
I follow the sun in my silver plane

If you have a look
Outside on the sea
Everything is white
It’s so wonderful

So far away

People in my life

Let’s go somewhere else

So far, so far
So far away

Imaginary Voyage

“Imaginary Voyage”

Life itself is the image

 

i19

I am interested in spiritual matters. I am interested in the nature of my feelings.

My personal photographic project: “ Imaginary voyage” is mainly using a metaphorical

method and ambiguous, poetic way to express the natural personal desires and drifts,

through engaging processes that place these desires into the natural world. It follows its own

dreamlike logic.

My wish is to give viewers time to rethink the act of seeing, and to see the ambiguity within

the deceptively simple act of “seeing things as they are.”

 

The series evolves into different sequential elements , which are water, watercolor, painted

petals, myself and myself portrayed in the photos drifting in the water world.

The project focuses on my self-awareness, self identity and belonging. Concerns for personal

emotions, freedom and the liberation of the inner self.

I shot what I feel and I shot my own self-portrait, wrote down why I took it and what I felt in

doing it…. Sometimes what I want to tell is not obvious, and other times the viewer is left

with his own interpretation.

 

 

 

Imaging….

If its not there, we write it down.

If its not there, we hand it over to our imagination.

 

 

 

 

I exist in my dream

Myself through a voyage… the colors, the water

the fragments of petals…25

 

 

 

I find myself in the water in the air

Can you see me

Can you feel I exist

Are we related…

 

 

I will follow the wake in the air, the fragrant wave

from petals, the trail on the water, the mirage in

the dark nights…

 

I wish to hunt myself down, to struggle with

Myself

Myself after a voyage

Myself in an illusion

Myself in reality

Myself through double layers

Myself through the fluid water

Myself as seen through your eyes, your         i28

Imagination

Who I really am and who I am supposed to be.

Those reworked photographs of 60’s gives me the ” fragments” memory of childhood, so I feel that I become small again.

I miss I was little; my childhood was filled with imagination, no stress, no problems in life…

The random close-up photos that captured some similar scenes of my childhood.

What sticks to memory, often, are those odd little fragments that have no beginning and end.

JUST STOP EVERYTHING

 MY DARLING DARLING GIRL, WRAP YOURSELF AROUND THE WORLD

 

Mystery of mysteries.. Plants, water and air are right there before us. Every time I view the nature, I felt a calming sense of security, as if visiting my “ancestral” home; I embark on a voyage of seeing, of finding myself.

This track makes me want to just stop everything. I think about the man I love, I picture a life of our in a place that meets our needs, keeps us happy and healthy. I wish I were using my youth more wisely. I’m scared thinking that I’m nearly 20 and my next 4 years are planned out for me.. I don’t want to miss anything. I want no regrets. I wish I could leave everything and I wanted.

In my work I’m not trying to give an answer to any questions, I just watch and listen to what causes my internal response very carefully. This project supposes to be just simply an extension of my feelings.

 My darling darling girl……..

 

Some scences (test works shot at Amersham)…immerse mentally into a hostile and unfamiliar environment. To put myself into this landscape, construct a space, to become part of it, to find a zone in myself where time and space will cross.

 

 

The first goal is to turn myself into s something else and try to express a sense of self finding self belongings through this transformation. I wanted to show the confusing or ambiguity of selfhood, self recognition and self finding.

Article circle, high land, Iceland .. I aimed that the geographic reality will give way to dreamy imagery.

 Also I refer to the concept of “home”, where am I belong to..

My practice functions around the notions of how I feel, understand, and remember and dream the home or a place..

Deconstruction woman (She-‘Self ‘, She-‘Other’)

Posted on Posted in conceptual art, performance photography, photographic art, Photography, self-portrait, studio photography, Visual artTagged , , ,

 

She- Self  She- Other

 

Life beyond the self.

It’s a Self-portraiture, photographic self-performance about female subject and an artistic practice.

 

 

 

My representation of constructed self through bodily gestures and shifting positions performed in front of the camera, represent desires and reflections about women. I try to assemble and stage my subjects and moods through images. My body is used as material and medium for this photographic work. The staged performance of this work balances the physical presence of my body referring to more imaginative ways in which I can record the inner self.

 

 

 

 

Deconstruct mode of performative self-imaging that opens up an abstract way of thinking about woman, in terms of constructed fantasies and the sexually identified subject. It also could explore notions of self-identity.
