"Discovered by chance, actual places are photographed. Next comes digital processing resulting in tilted prints presented in sequential series, organized around various diagonal perspectives.

The sky both lifts and invades the space occupied by the dynamics acting upon the objects forming the requisite setting: draped tarpaulins – maze/labyrinth. The light and its reflections create the vanishing point that pulls the viewer into the photograph, 'An invitation to travel'. " Colette Dubuisson - Art Critic

These revealed images provide access to the gigantesque and monumental. They appear removed from the world, a sense of ultimate freedom settles over their infinite expanse. The viewer's gaze is seized by the mystery and is filled with a desire to go “all the way there”, into these tormented skies, under rich and imposing ceilings, and to see oneself reflected in these deep mirrors.

Her choice of subject matter gravitates to natural landscapes and/or industrial scenes for their oversized and oftentimes monumental proportions.

〝 拍攝偶然發現的真實地方,經數碼處理成印染效果,呈現出一系列不同角度的構圖。

天空提升空間,同時進入於物體上的動力,形成必然的背景:懸垂篷布-迷宮/迷城。光與影創造消失點,吸引觀者投入照片中,一次遊歷的邀請。〞藝評家 Colette Dubuisson
