Walk Along The Line

    Yanle Shen

This project was Inspired by a long-term psychological trauma caused by inappropriate childhood education. Threatening education is a very common thing in my cultural background. Children often need to put in a lot of effort to get ‘conditional love’ from their parents. This is a very effective way for parents to get their children to follow their instructions and grow into what they consider 'ideal' children. However, in the long term, this will lead to a series of sequelae such as insecurity, feeling lonely, and excessive psychological defense.

My name is Yanle, I am a London-based photographer and art director. Through working in the creative industry, my works have been published on Esquire UK, Elle. Schon magazine, Sicky magazine, PAP magazine.
