365 Days Of U.S
In the project of 365 Days of U.S, my wife and I take a self-portrait everyday under a simply but intentionally engineered lighting set up in our own apartment. In fact, the implications of the name of this project are twofold. To be more specific, while this project contains 365 pictures of “us” taken everyday in a year, it also records our everyday life in our first year of being together starting from the beginning of the third year of our marriage in the U.S.. Honestly, instead of the appearances of us in each photograph on each day, the caption, however, of each image is the element that matters the most in this project. In other words, aesthetically creating an archive of our portraits has never been the purpose of this project. As a matter of fact, I hope this project to be viewed and interpreted as an embodiment of the experience of Chinese international students in the U.S., the embodiment of alien existence in the city of Boston, and the embodiment of our spiritual persistence.
