Announcing the Winner of the Photographer of the Week – Week 22, 2026

“Golden Dreams” exists between the ebb and flow of being and nothingness, where dreams offer balance between rationality and sensibility: 'I fantasize, I exist; I dream, I exist.’ Golden Dreams was born of the spirit’s eternal need for sanctuary, which hopes to repair the rift between past and present.

The gold accents on top of the black and white photographs express the tension of dreams in life, including illusion and reality, spiritual and bodily, brightness and darkness, destruction and reconstruction, and harmony and disharmony、Yin (negative) and Yang (positive).

The combination of modern photography and traditional Chinese gold powder painting provides a blurred feeling between past and present, balancing the conflict between delicate, gentle craftsmanship and calm, objective photographic techniques.
