This body of work draws inspiration from traditional Japanese and Chinese landscape paintings, which I have always admired as some of the most refined and timeless forms of visual art. What fascinates me about them is their intent not to replicate reality, but to convey the emotional essence of nature itself.

As I studied these paintings more closely, I became captivated by their simplicity and the profound meaning they hold. Their layered atmospheres, soft textures, and subtle details such as ink washes, woodblock patterns, brush strokes and warm tones all work together to evoke a sense of harmony and depth.

Through this collection, I sought to reinterpret these qualities within my own photographic language. I embraced bright, flat planes of color, bold contour lines, and a distinctive way of suggesting space by emphasizing the tension between foreground and background.

What emerged is not a mere imitation but a dialogue. It is a personal homage to an art form that has long inspired me and shaped the way I see landscapes. This series represents both a dedication to that tradition and a new way of envisioning photography as a bridge between reverence for the past and my own creative vision.
