Communicate with the spirit of heaven and earth alone
——Guo Xin's Western Landscape Photography -- Populus Euphratica Series
In terms of the landscape and images it can accommodate, the photographic images are extremely limited; However, some successful works, in their limited specific images, contain infinite and broad implications. Guo Xin's works reflecting the Gobi Desert not only show all kinds of strange natural scenes, but also quietly introduce people into a vast and boundless imaginary world.
Guo Xin has lived in Karamay, Xinjiang for many years. He loves the western scenery of Xinjiang, and has a special emotional experience of the Gobi Desert. In his eyes and heart, all the natural scenery and weather here are alive and energetic, so he often has a silent "dialogue" with them. In the process of blending his "heart source" with the "nature" in front of him, he has a different spiritual state. Populus euphratica is full of vitality and the spirit of self-improvement. It withstands the destruction of wind and sun and the tenacious growth of solitary trees, as well as the warm dawn shining on the Gobi Desert. All these lifeless natural scenes have become a scene of love and knowledge in his mind after the author's "moving" and "feeling and environment meeting". It is a kind of "mental image" sprouted in the author's communication with the spirit of heaven and earth, and it is an aesthetic imagination generated after the process of "things I love each other, things I assimilate".
