After decades of capturing Hong Kong’s shifting urban landscape, my practice has turned toward the nocturnal—not just as a change in light, but as a shift in perception. Health circumstances initially drew me to the night, but what began as limitation soon revealed itself as invitation: to slow down, to listen differently, and to enter a city transformed by silence.

This ongoing series, Nights in Suspense: Echoes in Ether, explores the emotional and psychological textures of urban space after dark. Blurring the boundaries between documentary and fine art, my work lingers in that ambiguous territory where architecture becomes atmosphere, and light becomes language. The city at night is no longer simply a subject—it becomes a stage, a mirror, a dream-state.

I am drawn to spaces in flux—those marked by transition, abandonment, or the quiet residue of human presence. Through long exposures and restrained composition, I trace how stillness holds tension, how absence sharpens perception, and how familiar environments shift under the weight of shadow. These photographs are not about spectacle; they are about suggestion. They ask what remains when function pauses and surface gives way to mood.

The night reveals a curated emptiness—designed, forgotten, or in progress—where light is no longer purely illumination but metaphor: for longing, memory, and the fragile architectures of daily life. I approach each frame not to document what is, but to reimagine what might be—inviting the viewer into a suspended moment where emotion and environment quietly intertwine.
