這座由一波又一波移民浪潮塑造而成的香港，蘊藏著堅韌與變革的精神。當我踏上移居旅程後，也展開了一段深層的自我探索之路，面對在全新環境中適應與堅持的挑戰。
初次移民並迎來人生第一個寒冬，嚴寒的氣候使我身心失衡，雙手僵硬、思緒遲滯，令我質疑自己與這片土地的聯繫。然而，在花園中，我觀察到植物於寒冷中依然頑強生長，那份靜默的韌性深深觸動了我。於是我開始以花卉為題展開攝影創作，將其封存於冰中，凝結那脆弱卻優雅的瞬間；冰層與氣泡環繞的花朵，象徵著在靜止中孕育的生命力。這系列作品誕生於我作為移民的第二個冬季，既是一次藝術實驗，也是一場關於適應與蛻變的內在對話。我希望藉由冰封花卉的意象，呈現人在遷移與困境之中，如何尋得力量與美感。
拍攝初期，我便希望能在冰層中展現出如冰花般的結晶圖案，這個念頭貫穿整個創作構思，成為視覺語言的一部分。攝影書的結構設計亦延續此概念，採用六角形造型，並運用手風琴式摺疊形式，讓平面作品擁有立體展示的可能。同時設計出第二種展示方式，使其能在閱讀中實現從平面到立體的轉化。全書以顏料型 Pigment 墨水噴墨打印於藝術相紙上，使畫面色彩更加飽和豐富，進一步強化整體的視覺層次與質感。
Hong Kong, a city shaped by wave after wave of migration, carries within it a spirit of resilience and transformation. After beginning my own journey of relocation, I entered a period of deep self-exploration—facing the emotional and physical challenges of adapting to an entirely new environment.
My first winter as a new immigrant brought with it a disorienting cold that left my hands stiff, my thoughts sluggish, and my sense of belonging unsettled. Yet in my garden, I witnessed the quiet strength of plants continuing to grow through the frost. Their silent resilience moved me profoundly. I began a photographic exploration using flowers as my subject, sealing them in ice to preserve their fragile yet elegant forms. Surrounded by layers of ice and delicate bubbles, the frozen blooms became symbols of life held in stillness. This series, created during my second winter abroad, became more than an artistic study—it evolved into a meditative dialogue on adaptation and transformation. Through these frozen flowers, I hope to express how, even in moments of migration and uncertainty, we can discover strength and beauty.
From the earliest stages of this project, I envisioned patterns forming within the ice—like ice flakes —emerging as part of the work’s visual language. This concept shaped the structure of the artist book, which adopts a hexagonal form and concertina fold, allowing the photographs to unfold into a sculptural display. A second configuration offers an alternate way to experience the book—transforming from flat pages to a three-dimensional reading. The entire work is printed with pigment-based ink on fine art photographic paper, enriching the tonal depth and enhancing the tactile visual experience.
