About a year and a half ago, I began working on my street photography project The Giant Shadow of the Human World. The technique involves placing a flash on the ground and capturing my own shadow on a wall, creating a striking visual contrast between the subject and its shadow. Off-camera flash combined with a public space wall forms an enormous shadow. This technique is not only innovative in form but also focuses on "creating visibility" — I am not recording shadows; I am "creating shadows," using light to carve a layer of identity/symbolism onto the human body.

This shooting project originally started just for fun, but it wasn't until recently, when I was flipping through a book by Carl Gustav Jung, that I realized the photos I had taken — which were intended to create visual spectacles — actually align with the concept of the "shadow self" in each of us. It represents the part of ourselves that is real but remains unseen.
