After more than two decades working across Asia as a Creative Director in advertising, he transitioned into a contemporary art practice grounded in long-term observation, site engagement, and experiential research. Moving between metropolitan centres, coastal regions, and riverine communities, his projects examine how individuals and communities navigate conditions of acceleration, displacement, belief, and environmental transformation.

Working across photography, moving image, and collaborative forms of inquiry, HanShun investigates the relationships between visibility and absence, material environments and lived experience, and the ways memory, ritual, and cultural narratives continue to shape contemporary life. His recent works increasingly engage vernacular cosmologies, spiritual practices, and ecological imaginaries in Southeast Asia.

His work has been exhibited internationally, including at the Arte Laguna Prize (2024), Revela’T Contemporary Analog Photography Festival (2020), Lishui Photography Festival (2019), Mt. Rokko International Photography Festival (2019), KG+ Kyotographie (2018, 2022), PhotoEidolo (2017), Malmö Fotobiennal (2017), the SongZhuang International Photo Biennale (2017), and Addis Foto Fest (2016, 2023), among others.

He is the recipient of the Graciela Iturbide MA-g Award from The Museum of Avant-garde (2024), a finalist at the Arte Laguna Prize (2024), and has received multiple international recognitions across photography festivals, biennales, and critical platforms.
