Ordinary Life


2017

Inspired by The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera, I took some pictures of repeated, superimposed, reused, and regenerated things in this series to express the idea of Eternal Recurrence.

I took down some of the photos I took in a temple from this series that I found not suitable to share because they captured spirit tablets, ancestral tablets and columbaria. They should be sacred to the temple/owners. Even though I was allowed to take pictures because of an event the temple held at that time, I kept having this feeling that I should not have captured them.
