My work tackles photography's premise:a photo may not faithfully mirror reality, despite the prevailing belief that it does. With my custom camera, I've captured scenes through nine different lenses onto a single light-sensitive surface. W.J.T. Mitchell's "Image Theory" asserts photos don't mirror but "create" reality; my case accentuates this, as nine "realities" emerge in one image. The images entered are installation layouts: the paper negative in the bottom left corner shows the image captured by all nine lenses, and the photographs arranged in 3x3 matrix are the positive copies.

I took my first photo when I was 11 years old. Now photography is my favorit hobby and also my passion. My main subjects are street, portrait and socio photography.
