The photographer was unfolding and letting a journey over his memories and reminiscences flit and glide. His photobook includes BW images captured on a particular island in recent years, which are the projection of his intuition and instinct of the moment. They not only delineate his heaving sentiments and trajectory of thoughts in a memorable period of time but also represent the tactile linkages he has with each landscape and object encountered on the road. The after images created by lights that glow on his retinas are as if the private album sealed in the witness of himself and the island.
