BFA Photography and Video

This black-and-white photograph captures a serene yet haunting urban scene enveloped in heavy fog. Tall, slender palm trees stretch toward the sky, their leaves softly blurred by the mist. A modern high-rise building looms in the background, its sharp edges softened by the fog, giving it a ghostly, ethereal quality. In the foreground, a person dressed in dark clothing stands on a grassy hill, holding a leash as their dog joyfully runs ahead. The contrast between the dark figure and the bright fog emphasizes their isolation within the scene. Further up the hill, a small figure in white appears, adding a sense of mystery and scale. The interplay of light, shadow, and fog creates a quiet, dreamlike atmosphere, inviting viewers to contemplate the relationship between urban life and nature, as well as the solitude found within bustling environments.

In this scene, a blue-haired dragon boy sits on the curved rooftop of a traditional Chinese building. His long, turquoise hair flows behind him, and dragon-like antlers sprout from his head. Around him, the roof is decorated with stone statues of Chinese mythical creatures. One stone Qilin is chasing two birds flying overhead. The golden glow paints everything in a soft, dreamlike hue. The boy gazes into the distance, surrounded by the protective presence of these ancient creatures.
