Haoyue Wu

In this work, the artist uses dewdrops as a metaphor for fleeting moments and the transient nature of her observations, capturing ephemeral instances of plants, sunlight, ice, and human interaction. She intentionally creates groupings and contrasts to enable viewers to construct their own narratives. Her photographs aim to emphasize the materiality of objects. This approach resonates with Susan Stewart’s idea that modern longing for craftsmanship can restore tactile sense. To reinforce this, she chose hand-threaded binding and integrated concrete poetry, transforming the photographs into tangible objects.
