Exploring immortality through a camera lens brings me, uniquely, a full-bore vision into life.
“The Fraser River flows silently in front of me. Following the current, waterfowls dart between aquatic plants and seagulls fly low dashing past the waving river. Occasionally, a boat sails by stirring a series of wavelets in the glittering lights of waves. Along the Fraser River, I search the ruins of dead trees and peer into the beauty of their decay. I also savour their various elegant forms that beautifully blend into nature. Such an endeavour becomes one of my greatest joys. I am lost in these tranquil and peaceful surroundings where the sky and water merge into one colour. In my mind’s eye and antennae, I observe the decaying logs. Enthusiastically I engage my camera to capture their images.” - Sand Wan

《不朽》這個攝影主題,讓我以一種獨特的方式,去感悟生命。
「菲莎河在我的面前靜靜地流淌,水鳥隨波逐浪於水草之間,海鷗低飛掠過起伏的河面,偶爾駛經的船隻,激起了層層輕濤,一片波光粼粼。沿菲莎河岸,尋找樹木生命的遺跡,「窺探」它們在死亡之後的美麗,細賞它們融合在大自然裡的各種優雅的體態,成了我人生的一大樂趣,令我流連忘返於這寧靜安詳,水天一色之間。用我的心眼,用我的觸角,用我的熱忱,用我的照相機為它們素描影作。」-溫一沙
