"Gaze Up" is a photographic series that explores the relationship between humans and nature. Through minimalistic yet profound compositions, it guides viewers to look up at the sky, discovering unexpected poetry and philosophical reflections in an otherwise ordinary perspective. This series features subjects such as tree branches, utility pole, bird, grass, and airplane, using the sky as a backdrop to construct a visual narrative that is both figurative and abstract. It seeks to capture fleeting moments of life, freedom, and the passage of time.
