那年春天，我遠赴舊金山學習攝影與抽象繪畫。以此為轉捩點，回到台灣之後，再一次面對這些曾經熟悉的場景，卻感受到截然不同的感官經驗；於是重新審視過往的作品，透過攝影為表現載體，以長時間曝光的手法與抽象繪畫的概念來發展這個創作計畫。
城市中的建築與場景如同有機體(Organism)般永不間斷地發展與變化，隨著經濟、社會和居住空間的變遷，曾經熟悉的場景也不斷地重製(Regeneration)，這些影像遂成為城市地景(Cityscape)中不連續的歷史紀錄；但這件作品不只作為外在世界的客觀紀錄，而是企圖以反身性的思考，來回應自身記憶與生活經驗，開啟美學與哲思的對話。
"A sense of place" is a contemporary photographic plan which started since 2011. This plan focus on unique scenes in modern Taiwan city. These photographs were made by large format camera in the evening with long-time exposure. I explored the city to find some juxtapositions of different kind of buildings, or buildings that are deteriorating set against a newer building next to it. People are there but not there. For me, these buildings are alive, full of decaying, degradation, decline, rejuvenation, and revitalization. The collage of these buildings forms a process of generation and regeneration, and the concept of generation and regeneration representing a simultaneous existence of deterioration and life. The long exposure of these scenes becomes a pathway to expression of life, drawing our attention to the everyday- what we might bypass- and inspiring us to take another look, and developing a sense of place.
