Time is like an hourglass, every grain of sand tells a story.

This selfie collection was specially created to celebrate my 50-year-old birthday in 2022. With half a century of pain and glory, it’s not only a treasurable lifetime memory for me, but also a reward to my 18 years' pursuit on photography, with its winning of 2nd place of IPA and a few other awards.

It took us 2 days with thousands of tries to get this out, as it’s so very difficult to capture an expressional fabric movement corresponding to the the direction of time ed and life ahead. I personally don't like a manipulated photo as a precious lifetime memory.

The total run of this artwork is 4 editions, the number stands for 4 seasons in a year as well as seasons in our life.

* Photographs printed on Hahnnemüle 308gsm museum quality paper with a white border of 2.5cm, comes with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) signed and numbered by the artist. Shipped in a tube with specific artwork materials. Frame and mat not included.

Canvas print stretched on a 3cm wooden frame (ready to hang) shipped in a crate is optional at a different price. Details available upon request.

Xidong Luo is a self-taught fine art photographer based in southern China. She specializes in using mirrors, flowers and other natural elements to honor the grace of age, to express the evanescent feminine beauty and the built-in female pain, the deep connection between female and nature, Yin and Yang, life and death.

Her creation is deeply rooted in and influenced by the traditional Chinese philosophy Taoism, which claims that “Heaven and earth coexist with me, and all things and I are one”.

The inspiration of using mirrors came from a Chinese idiom “镜花水月”. Literally it means "flowers in the mirror and the moon reflected in the water", which is a metaphor of the UNCERTAINTY, UNATTAINABILITY and NOTHINGNESS of life itself. While visually, besides adding more dimensions and emotive weights to the creation, it leads to a disorientation in time and space, now and then, here and there, slightly surreal.

As an amateur dancer, she takes the advantage by using herself as the medium of expression to accomplish her art projects ever since the COVID-19 lockdown. Yet it's not just about the beauty of a body shape, it’s more about her profound comprehending and cherishing of life through sorrowfully accepting its fleeting nature.
