One Two Three
"When you hear music, after it's over, it's gone in the air. You can never capture it again." - Eric Dolphy
from "Miss Ann", Eric Dolphy / Last Date, 1964
Just click the shutter to the moment in the life of my family.
Definitely I heard the kind of music while clicking these moments, unposed, unstaged moments exists there.
It's like Jazz, the improvisations in Jazz. If I missed it, it’s gone in the air, I can never capture it again, as Eric Dolphy said.
I lost my father who had stage four lung cancer in 2017 (Dad with Lung Cancer).
When I organized my father’s belongings at my parents’ house I found so many pictures of my childhood that my mother took—most of these I had never seen before.
from my mother's archives.
After that, I'm summarizing these photographs as an on-going project to show my mother who are alone in the parents house, and above all, I'm trying to increase the time of parent-child communication through these photographs with my three daughters, and to improve their self-esteem.
They show me such beautiful moments, I think it’s a gift, the gift of a beautiful moment they gave, these extreme gifts appear in front of me, I can’t help but catch them.
Capturing the moment is the same as street photography. I try to capture it from a viewpoint beyond the personal space to share it with viewers like street photography.
If someone ask me "Are these photos then art, or life?", I want to say that ‘life is art’. I never called my photography ‘art’, but definitely, they show me what I feel art to be.
