Standing as a bold and definitive monument of contemporary portrait investigation, masterfully challenges traditional figurative staging by converting historical human archives into a multi-layered, structural statement within the discipline of avant garde fine art photography. Part of Ying Chen’s critically acclaimed Her series, this unique physical creation treats the composition space as an analytical laboratory, gathering vintage black-and-white female portraits to strip them from their original contexts. The vertical arrangement tracks an intense graphic rhythm where the stylized, fragmented face is gracefully intertwined with abstract design patterns, natural mineral shapes in warm pastel tones, and high-contrast artificial textures against an absolute black environment void. By balancing calculated physical fragmentation with soft emotional gestures, this layout builds a powerful visual friction that successfully communicates a gentle but unyielding female presence filled with independent life.
 
This is a photo contemporary collage project based on modern art. Greatly influenced by natural figures and artificial textures. I love to collect black and white photos of female portraits, cutting out the parts and stripping them from the original context, combining them with the abstract design figure, to get a new figurative photography. This project is about 'she', every single piece has a unique female image, and each composition has a different character. Mysterious women are always a very attractive point to me. Ideally, behind every independent female figure, I want the audience to see a gentle but strong female image. Its basic sense is to make her seem to have life, when she smiles or looks up, every move is gentle and beautiful.
