TITLE: Stone of enlightenment

I came to another kind of honesty, out of the truth of what I thought, no name, no identity, no story, "I know I am no one, I exist here, nothing more" honesty.

From the boundary of the system to the state of art (inner), staring at the big empty space that pays attention to the facts, there is no meaning in seeing through life. But you still have to live clearly.

Keeping a distance is far more than watching ourselves and seeing how we are making up our own world. Paradoxically, and because of this, our belief system begins to lose its control over us, eliminating all the excuses and scams that make us comfortable.

It turns out that just waking up is to find that nothing is true and eternal, but still joy, freedom and love. Everything is just the experience of the life process, choose what you feel is "worthy" to experience, and still cherishly live in the present.

Bravely remove all kinds of illusion sticks, and only rely on one's own "existence" to exist, and take a journey of rebirth and rebirth from the ashes of nothingness.

AUTHOR: Kai-Yen Tu (Taiwan)

Kaiyen Tu(1986-) is a Taiwanese photographic artist specializing in capturing mental imagery based on black-and-white descriptions of the natural world.

For her, photography is not just an art form but also a spiritual journey connected to the subconscious. Influenced deeply by minimalism and conceptualism, her photography style expresses subtle yet profound connections with nature through existentialism. This combination results in concise and abstract works, exploring and expressing philosophical dimensions through symbolic imagery. Her works are often intricate and metaphorical, using black-and-white photography as a language of detachment to create a visual distance from color, aiming to bring about an internal objectivity and clarity within photography.
