GU Liyu:Clamour & Humble

《Clamour & Humble》

GU Liyu

Over the two years after I dropped out ofschool and returned to my countryside home, my sight was finally released fromthe cold blackboards. During my intimate contact with nature, I surprisinglyfound my resonance with it beyond words. Apart from bringing joy, I hope thisresonance can also carry some of the burden of loneliness I feel. As I takephotos, I find myself in conversation with nature. Living creatures, trees, andobjects, they are all like elders who inadvertently tell me in various ways:learn from the pain and pull back before it is too late. Moreover, beautifulthings are offered to everyone. Nature bears everything of me, and teaches meto enjoy the relaxation brought by solitude, and to find my own mirror in thetranquility.

GU Liyu was born in 1998. She currently livesand works in Leshan, Sichuan province. In June 2014, she began to work withphotography. Now, she takes photos, enjoys films, and travels.
