NARRATIVE

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

I developed this project for the Three Shadows Photography Art Center open call. Drawing on the practices of Hai Longjie, Vivian Maier, and Nan Goldin, I examined how images construct emotion and identity through everyday narratives. I translated photographic storytelling into a tactile editing system in which typography, grids, and imagery form deliberate visual rhythms across Chinese and English. Through this approach, reflective observation is transformed into an embodied experience of seeing, feeling, and interpreting.

Visual narrative is not only the image presentation, but also the way of organizing the meaning and thinking structure in the design. Different media narrative methods can complement each other, so designers need to jump out of the traditional frame of language narrative, and integrate the image, symbol and structure with cross-media thinking to form a more complete visual expression.

Through red rectangular highlights on the book cover, promotional posters, and postcard materials, the project emphasizes subtle details like eyes and scars—often overlooked—thereby foregrounding visual evidence and magnifying the narrative's core tension across all media.

At the exhibition, professors and students paused to discuss my work, particularly focusing on how I extracted narrative details through red rectangles. They found this method effectively deepened and guided the interpretation of the images.
