Dreams in Dreamland
(Contains 50 photos) Untitled
Dreams in Dreamland



“Dreams in Dreamland” provides an unorthodox view on an urban landscape. Depicting the surreal and dreamy mood of being a bystander, observing the world in slow motion. Like a Lemarchand* box revealing alternative planes of existence throughout a puzzle, my inhibitions and imagination unfold before me. Shy by nature, the hidden layers of self are slowly peeled away.
Happy Rain
(Contains 19 photos) Happy Rain #18
The series of photographs “Happy Rain” depict movements of coloured umbrellas. A perception that rain does not necessarily mean staying indoors with grey skies and bad weather. Rain can lead to opportunities of catching people going about their daily lives set within vibrant colours, oblivious to the wetness that surrounds them.

This NOT Tibet



I am often asked, what kind of photography I do?". A simple question. However, I am at a lost most of the time for an answer. Perhaps a better question would be "Why am I so passionate about photography?".

Sumo 相 撲

Sumo is certainly not one of the martial arts that are an instant hit with women like me, or with most Westerners for that matter, many of us being notoriously focused on the outer shell of things.
