Trace of Dream

 

When face obstacles in life, Tibetan take refuge in a prayer, a solemn request to a deity to protecting and dispel the miseries from their beloved. I want to explore the spiritual linkage within their devotion their tolerance and compassion, the energy that creates an everlasting bond between them. The multi-exposure technique allows me to explore an inward relationship among these people. I am interested in how the photographic medium can translate a particular time and space, memories and thoughts into something visible. When each image has begin merge together as I started recording each individual praying in different place and time, there is an visible intimacy among these people, a trace that yearn for sharing life with one another. Which is sustained by hope. Even there is no guarantee about the future.
