My Grandfather

My Grandfather is a personal photographic work that quietly documents my grandfather during the final years before I left China. Captured in 2019, the series preserves fleeting, intimate moments: slicing fruit, reading newspapers, organizing personal notes. These images form an emotional archive — a visual elegy to memory, familial connection, and time’s irreversible drift.

While much of my practice explores digital identity and posthuman transformation, My Grandfather roots itself in physical presence, intergenerational care, and domestic ritual. It reflects a core tension in my work — between the body and the machine, between heritage and acceleration.

Visually minimal yet emotionally resonant, the image invites viewers into a space of quiet resistance: where attention, intimacy, and slowness become acts of preservation. It’s a portrait of love without spectacle — a meditation on how memory survives not in monuments, but in the stillness of daily life.
