Graffiti can be found in all kinds of unexpected places around the city. The works are perceived as idle moaning by some people, but for others, they are an expression of their pressures. Despite their eye-catching appearance, graffiti works cannot escape being cleaned up. Over time, layers of paint obscure these words and images. Hong Kong photographer Chan Dick traveled around various districts to track down and photograph these almost invisible graffiti marks. Behind every covered graffiti there is the author’s thought, and every trace of brushstroke is engraved with the imprint of the city.

"I SEE" is photographer Chan Dick's first self-published and printed photo album, which was prepared several years ago. The walls photographed in the work are all filled with paint. Some of the paint appears extremely pale, while others are darker than ink, and most are in a grayish state between the two. Chen deliberately arranged his works from light to dark, reflecting the changes in the city's landscape through visual gradients. Although the main colors of the photo album are black, white, and gray, if you look carefully, you will occasionally see some traces of red, yellow, green, etc. paint. Therefore, the photographer chose to print the book in four colors plus spot colors, and the shades of each photo only differed by 5%, which required very high printing technology. In addition to sorting and coloring, the selection of paper, binding methods, packaging design, etc. are all carefully and meticulously considered by the photographer.

在城市的無數角落，隨處可見各種出人意表的塗鴉。有些人匆匆路過，將其視為無病呻吟，但對於某些人而言，這些作品卻是他們對生活壓力的抒發和表達。然而，再引人注目的塗鴉作品也無法逃過被清理的命運，這些文字和圖像最後被層層油漆所遮掩。攝影師陳的遊走各區，追尋並拍下這些幾乎已看不見的塗鴉痕跡。每一個被遮蓋的塗鴉背後都蘊含著作者的想法，每一筆觸的痕跡都銘刻著城市的印記。

《吾見》是攝影師陳的 (Chan Dick) 首本自資出版及印刷的攝影集，由數年前開始籌備。作品攝下的牆壁均被油漆填滿，有些油漆顯得格外蒼白，有些則比墨色還黑，更多的是兩者之間的灰濛狀態。陳的刻意將作品由淺至深地順序排列，透過視覺上的漸變，反映城市面貌的轉向。雖然攝影集以黑、白、灰為主色，但只要細心觀察，便會偶爾看到一些紅、黃、綠等的油漆痕跡出現。因此，攝影師選擇了以四色加專色印刷此書，而每張相片的深淺度只相差 5%，對印刷技術要求甚高。除了排序及用色之外，用紙選擇、釘裝方式、包裝設計等的製作方向，皆經過攝影師精心和細致的考量。
