A diagonal cuts across the map of France— from the dense, luminous cities to the quiet, receding interiors
People move along this invisible line, drawn by promise, by necessity, by illusion.
I follow this movement. Not just the bodies that arrive, but the spaces that are left behind, and the ones that struggle to contain what keeps coming.
In cities, everything accelerates opportunity, isolation, identity. In the margins, time stretches, yet absence becomes a presence of its own.
Is this migration a form of progress, or a slow imbalance unfolding?
Between departure and arrival, between center and periphery, this work traces a quiet tension— where individuals dissolve into the flow, and the map begins to redraw itself.
Ici, on va où quand on ne sait pas où aller ?
I’m a documentary photographer exploring themes of belonging, memory, and the quiet narratives of urban life. Based in Paris and originally from China, my work is shaped by my own experience of living between cultures.
I use photography to look closely at the everyday: the unguarded moments, the half-spaces, the small acts of resilience that don’t make the news but make up a life. My practice combines personal projects with street photography, rooted in the belief that the most powerful stories are often the quietest ones.
I hold a background in business, which taught me to see systems and patterns and now I use that same curiosity to look at people.
