If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
(Emily Dickinson)
What does beauty mean?
I’ve been exploring this concept for the first eight years of twenties, which I spent shooting fashion photography and films.
I found many answers there; all of them were unsatisfying.
In that dreamy world full of perfection, I could only find beauty in imperfection.
I turned to art photography and to creative filmmaking.
I found beauty in freckles and crooked teeth.
In youth’s dark innocence.
In old beggars’ eyes.
I found beauty in abandonment, grace and impossible redemption.
My research still goes on, and it will until my last day. For sure, even after...
