Reflections under the sun

Photography is an art of reflection, reflection of objects, reflection of subjects.

Photographers reflect on the world by abstracting interesting objects from a chaotic world. The abstracted objects in a picture are representations of the photographers' understandings of the world.

When I saw the shadows, reflections and silhouettes under Peru's radiant sunshine, the first thing that came to my mind was: Which was more real? The object itself or its shadow? In the modern world, our true selves are hidden behind a mask of formality; yet our shadows can often provide a glimpse of our thoughts and motivations.

In this series, the reflections in the pictures are my reflections of the world. They represent my happiness, my sadness, my hopes, my desires and my contemplations.
