Protecting the Ocean Through Photography
The ocean and coral reefs are important parts of our natural environment. When photographing corals, I have come to understand that they need clean seawater to survive. Once corals turn white (bleach), they can never recover. This is why my coral photography focuses on raising awareness about marine conservation. Through these images, I hope to remind people to cherish and protect our natural resources.
When you hang these photos on your wall and ire their beauty, you are also showing that you care about protecting nature.
Taiwan’s small islands have a rich and diverse marine ecosystem, where corals form beautiful shapes over time. Through my black-and-white photography, I capture their timeless beauty with a nostalgic, vintage style. The play of light and shadow—like a charcoal drawing—adds depth and movement, making each image a unique piece of art.

This black and white series explores the Dahlia flower as a natural mandala — a sacred geometry found not in temples, but in gardens.
Rather than chasing high-definition realism, I choose to emphasize imperfection, grain, and texture. These photographs are intentionally sculpted to resemble charcoal sketches or weathered memories, inviting a sense of timelessness. In stripping away color, the Dahlia's structure becomes more pronounced — a hypnotic arrangement of petals that form concentric, almost sacred patterns.
Each bloom is a quiet architecture of meditation. In its radial symmetry lies a visual mantra, echoing the meditative qualities of mandalas used in spiritual traditions across cultures. This geometry is not merely beautiful — it gently anchors the mind. It asks us to pause, reflect, and observe.
Through this lens, the Dahlia becomes more than a flower — it becomes a portal to stillness. Its repeating forms create a subtle gravitational pull, holding the viewer’s gaze in a silent, visual rhythm. It is an object that seems to breathe on the wall, softly encouraging contemplation.
This series invites you to see nature as both design and mystery, — and the act of looking as a form of meditation.
Symbolically, the "ahlia flower represents strength, elegance, dignity, and the courage to face challenges". Often associated with " feminine wisdom and grace"it’s a flower that honors resilience and beauty in all its forms. In monochrome, these meanings rise from the shadows and textures, giving each photograph not just form—but presence and soul.

This black-and-white photography series explores the unique beauty of rare orchids from Taiwan, revealing their surprising and fascinating forms. Each orchid tells its own story—This is a rare type of orchid blooming in the winter of 2024. To me, it looks like an alien creature with a sharp nose and big wings sprinkled with nebula-like patterns. Its curved shape feels like it’s still in a deep sleep, waiting for your calling. Perhaps, when it awakens, it will stretch its cosmic wings, shimmering with the light of distant stars. You might find it gliding gracefully through a universe of dreams, weaving between galaxies, as if searching for the perfect balance between elegance and the infinite mystery of the cosmos. Its presence feels like a quiet reminder that beauty can be both earthly and otherworldly.
Orchids are delicate and difficult to grow, with some species blooming only under very specific conditions, especially in island environments like Taiwan. I strive to capture their rare moments of full bloom, preserving their beauty for viewers to appreciate. Through my lens, I highlight the elegance and uniqueness of each orchid, offering a timeless memory of nature’s artistry.
This series will continue to grow as I discover more unusual orchids, bringing their fleeting beauty to life through black-and-white imagery for orchid lovers around the world.

In my "Space Rose" series, I explore the idea of a rose coming to life in space. What would it become in such an environment? This question led me to create an abstract expression of the rose, capturing its essence through swirling shapes and vibrant colors. I enjoy using quick brushstrokes to convey the movement and energy of the rose as it seems to float and thrive without the constraints of gravity.
"Space Rose" offers a glimpse into a world where we, too, might one day exist—where there’s no gravity, endless pressure, and everything is in constant motion, free to evolve and transform in a boundless universe.
