The project titled ‘XX’ is a personal story of my relationship with my ex-boyfriend after the break-up. Like a homonym to ex-ex, the series consists of places, memories and emotions that I encountered after the separation. The photographs and snapshots transform as metaphors of lost love and passing of time. Here, photography is used as medium which captured moments last forever. At the same time, it is also a tool for healing, a documentation of the my thoughts and emotions. Just like what Roland Barthes mentioned in Camera Lucida, the project is an evidence of “that-has-been” and the memory of the artist, filled with both sadness and warmth of the break-up.
