I seem to be quite interested in the minimalist style. From
the attention I paid to minimalist photography in earlier years, and the deep
impression those minimalist style works left on me, I cannot help but say that
it reflects my aesthetic tendency to some extent. One's aesthetic taste may be
inborn, just as one's taste in food is more or less fixed, which more or less
indicates the great influence of biological genetics on one's spirit. But it is
not as if cultural factors do not play a role either. Perhaps on the contrary,
acquired education and cultural practices may be decisive for one's spirit and
thinking. In fact, many of my aesthetic ideas cannot even completely exclude
the influence of reading experiences cultivated early in life.

These images may be the product of such aesthetic
perceptions. I do not want to express the cultural characteristics of the
post-industrial era, but in fact I may have been doing so. However, my
aesthetic interest may have always been limited to a limited area of comfort,
and instinctively rejected those areas of expression that were painfully
uncomfortable.

The picture as a whole presents a calming blue tone, and a
little white, without much color rendering, which can be called minimal.
Minimalism represents purity, and purity is the closest to God's will. This is
the philosophical proposition of Taoism. And the fashion culture that has
transmuted from Japanese Zen culture is stirring up a trend. I don't know if
minimalist photography has been influenced by these trends, but I think they
all go the same way for art.
Perhaps every photographer is trying to explore the more
essential things. I am ashamed to say that I still have a long way to go in my
pursuit of photography.
