On the event, Felix shares with us of his Personal Project - 道 。界 Rules and Boundaries

Introduction:
我們時刻都 在自我設問 及探索那些 生命中最根 本的問題： 如何在現實 和理想中找 到平衡，如 何在物質慾 望和理性思 考世界裡活 出中庸；怎 樣在正面與 反面中取捨 ，怎樣去區 分真假與對 錯...... 本攝影集是 探究一些生 活中最基本 的元素，人 的五感，感 性和理性， 關於人及自 然界在客觀 環境中的掙 扎；我們對 現實的反應 ，對‘美與醜 ’的想像和界 定。我們每 一刻都想擺 脫肉身的束 縛，然而這 世界卻永遠 要我們去迎 接各種考驗 。在稍作歇 息的時候， 我希望思想 的自由能帶 領我們每一 個人去重新 認識生命的 價值，珍惜 身邊的一切 人與事。

In every moment we are querying and exploring those fundamental questions and uncertainties in our life: how to reach a balance between reality and ideal world; how to live a reasonable life under the complex of material allure and rational thinking; how to weigh the pros and cons; how to distinguish true from false...... This photography project is to re-examine and probe into the basic elements of our lives, the human senses, both emotional and rational. It is about struggles of mankind and nature against an alienated world, our reaction to environment, our imagination and definition of beauty/ugliness. Even though everyone of us wishes to free ourselves from the binds of mortal body, our persistence and toughness are always put through our paces by continuous challenges and tests in the world. When taking a brief repose and rest, I always wish the freedom of thought can lead our way to re-recognize the value of life and cherish everybody and everything surrounding us.
