DEN Gai Photo Exhibition Duration of Indifference

It is not something to be sought, but something that arrives unexpectedly in a fleeting moment.

When my gaze begins to wander, the world starts to speak.

I do not capture the image; the image chooses me.

In the bustling noise of the city, it does not touch me directly.
Rather, the camera gently grazes the surface, tracing and reflecting the essence of the world.

Everything flows naturally—from the other side to this one—and settles within me.
