One By One: LIFE

I named this photo "Life" because, much like life itself, it is filled with ups and downs, with black holes we sometimes pass by unknowingly and sometimes fall into. It is full of moments of darkness and light—and at times, just gray moments.

This photo also brought me my first serious and major award in my career. I became the 2nd place winner in the National Category at the Sony World Photography Awards with this photo, and in the Travel Category, it was selected as one of the best photographs, making it to the finals.
