TEN PRECEPTS OF BUDDHISM

As an Asian who lives in a Western country, I found that I have not changed my habits or Chinese concepts much, even though I have been in the United States for more than eight years. However, some of my concepts or behaviors have been influenced by Western cultures. And I found that it is not just my personal issue but a social issue in Western society. My project explores the conflicts between Eastern and Western cultures in large-scale photographs that represent the ten precepts of Buddhism, which reflect my particular experiences and interpretations of them. Chinese food and objects are featured in this series of works, but the context and backgrounds in the work are Western in style. Overall, my work is not only about Buddhism, but more about the differences between Eastern culture and Western culture, and the differences between religions are also addressed.
