Collection Concept:
Under the heavy pressure of fast-paced life and fierce competition, people ignore small happiness in life. We are stressed, depressed and lost. This problem has become more apparent during the Covid-19 pandemic. Based on my research in psychology and philosophy, I believe that happiness is hidden in small things in our daily lives, so I started to capture all kinds of happy moments, and try to express true happiness. This project is expected to awaken people to embrace the chaos, the energy, the feeling of being alive.
