Formosa, a beautiful island surrounded by the sea, is famous for its majestic, enchanting seascapes. Titled Rhythm of the Sea, this solo exhibition represents the photographer’s romantic encounter and inner dialogue with the image of the deep blue. Reveling in the lapping of the waves and being captivated by the symphony of nature, Chuang pursued an innovative approach to producing the works included in this solo exhibition. Through his camera lens, the photographer wove a compelling narrative filled with his personal observations on people who live by the seaside. He found sustenance in the vast sea, channeling his deep thinking and genuine affection into his enthralling photographic works. He thus not only captured the multifaceted nature of the protean sea, but also threw the subtle yet profound image of his works and his distinguishing philosophical reflection into sharp relief. He faithfully presented people’s lives and the sea spanning across his field of vision, telling touching stories with his consummate skills.
In scorching summers at the sun-kissed seaside, the ocean stretches as far as the eye can see, and the sky is as cloudless as bright. Sitting on the beach and gazing at the sea in tranquility, you’ll hear the waves carrying mellifluous melody, as if you’re enjoying an auditory feast of awe-inspiring symphonic music. With its ingenious design, this solo exhibition offers the visitors an experience of synesthesia between visual and auditory senses. The pulsating rhythm and plaintive voice of the sea give the visitors great visceral thrills, which ergo liberates them from haunting vexations and mental fatigue, touches their heart of hearts, and helps them rediscover the true, pure self.
The sea changes its appearance in various permutations over the course of time. Following the footprints of light and shadow, you can survey the scene sprinkled with fishing boats in the distance or admire the gorgeous sunset. On the beach, you may see people enjoying themselves and finding delight in chasing each other, taking a leisurely stroll along the waterfront as they please, or indulging themselves in the pleasure of playing in the water that soothes their mind. The seaside scenery is always spellbinding. You are cordially invited to this elaborately organized exhibition, where you can personally experience the fabulous interaction between humans and the sea, take pleasure in roaming these engrossing spectacles, and become intoxicated in the arms of nature. Now, let’s go to the seaside and feel the pleasant sea breezes on our faces!
