Structured Life is a metaphorical project illustrating how I interact
with my parents;buildings are equivalent to my life structure
control by my parents. I am very interested in architecture and
family psychology because of my parents deep influence. The
project is a series of digitally photographed buildings and refined
photo collages, based upon contemporary office buildings in the
San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle and Shanghai, and ancient
buildings in Tokyo. I create a break in the buildings that is
integrated in my photos to make complex images with repetition
and distorted perspectives with chaos. Long exposure and
transparency reflect a feeling of illusion with flow.
