Exhibition text from "It’s Not Far Away": 
I am sitting here, waiting, is it coming?

Through this fixated view, a window that I see everyday from the beginning of the day til the end, where do my eyes land? Dead bugs, trees, those two birds that probably have a nest somewhere, his belongings, her gifts, memory intertwined. I think I am lost, is it here yet? 

"It’s Not Far Away" is about the voyeuristic glances and the distorted experiences of time passing in everyday life, through windows with personal connections. The main work is consisted of several photographs that document a single motif in different perspectives. One set is focused on the window frame and another is fixed on the view on the other side. These fluid, organic documentations trace down the washed out and preserved, time and memory.
