This is the last photoshoot of the whole 12-week collection of self-portraits. The repetition of seeing myself through my own view finder was a long journey. Interestingly, as the there were more traces of myself regularly throughout the time, I realized I slowly got closer to me.

As an artist I believe we need that emotion from God. That is called joy and peace, just as Henry Nouwen mentions. And those become my compass to reflect on where I stand in front of God. If I get to encounter and see myself transparently in spiritual ways, that is all I need.

God’s window has that unique haze that is not specifically recognizable because it is supposed to reflect everything in a unique, loving way. Just as all the window does is to reflect and transparently yield the genuine part of me, God’s window all it does is to view me as a loved one.

Tracing Georgia’s life all the way in New Mexico was a turning point in my artistic career and my perspective viewing the future of my career as well. I still miss here and would love to go back every summer. For that holy distance between the world- so I could work, work, and be pleased- just like she did.

Second look at New Mexico- again just about ten steps out from our airbnb… I still think again how that airbnb (find Blue Corn Trace Artist Barn on Airbnb!) was just perfectly located in middle of no where.

This summer I watched When Camelia Blooms in Netflix- and somebody already had told me the main character - Camelia’s style- is such mine. And whoa, I was busy throughout the drama capturing her looks.
