What is life and what is death?

One moment we are here, and then we are gone.
 

That is the reality of life.

In Chinese Folk Culture, the 7th month of the Lunar Calendar is known as the Hungry Ghost Month.

It is believed that the gates of hell open during this period. A period when humans and spirits walk as one on Earth.

What was once dead is now amongst the living, what is living will someday be amongst the dead.
 

This is the circle of life.

Through this project, I meditate on the meaning of life and after and explore the reality and concept of living and death.

Hand-held long exposures create an exaggerated sense of movement and softness. The deliberate tight cropping

of each photograph makes the grain of the negative much more pronounced, making the subjects look almost like ash and dust.
