TITLE: Earthly

Earthly is the representation of time after the deconstruction of the body,
It flows, it aggregates, it is everywhere.
We are only a part of it and Earthly is our whole.
Matter after death, back in time of Earthly and nothingness.
This is the common imprint of our existence in matter.

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.
