This months' featured exhibition is titled 'Journey of life' by Shenshen Dou

Life often feels like a continuous journey of self-discovery, a quest to understand our true identity, purpose, and what genuinely makes us happy, moving from a socially conditioned self back to an authentic one by embracing experiences, shedding old beliefs, and aligning actions with inner values for greater fulfillment, even if it means getting lost to find ourselves again.
This group of works centers on exploring the inner desire of people to find themselves. I created a specific nature environment for each protagonist, revealing their thoughts and emotions through the interaction between themselves and their surroundings.
Each natural setting isn’t just a backdrop, but rather an external manifestation and reflection of the characters’ inner desires and needs.
When making these photography works, my own emotions and my perceptions of life were blended in naturally.

I invite you to explore this most interesting exhibition where photography shows the inner desire of people to find themselves.

This exhibition which will be exposed on our opening page / Gallery throughout February 2026.
