Seed (2024)

Guided by light — both abstract and concrete, a vital energy in the ecological environment — the work draws inspiration from natural states. It captures nature from a microscopic perspective, holding fleeting moments and connecting all senses with the living world. The images emerge through exposure — an encounter with light — developed with natural ingredients found on site. Sounds were recorded at sunrise and sunset; light-sensitive emulsions were coated and exposed under a new moon, in a park free of light pollution—an open-air darkroom. The film was created at Guandu Nature Park during the summer art festival of 2024 in Taiwan.
