非物质文化遗产这一范畴一直以来都是艺术创作的主题之一，我对民族、民间文学艺术和传统工艺一直以来都具有浓厚的兴趣。它是民族文化的根基，尤其在日益全球化、信息化的今天，众多的非物质文化走向被遗忘的边缘甚至消失。在这样一个文化遗存的弥留之际，我总在思考怎样才可以跨越这种弥留？
在《余音缭绕》的创作中，我将正在消失、已经消失或者有可能面临消失的“文艺样式”，与以非物质遗址形式存在的“化石”以及作为即将消失的手工艺“夏布”三者组接在我的画面上。对画面做出这样的处理，一方面是想以更为特别的方式呈现文化遗存状态的记录，另一方面也是探索摄影呈现方式的可能性，从而产生综合材质的效果。
对于非物质文化遗产的保护，是世界性的课题，也是作为文化艺术从事者的我们的责任与义务。作为艺术家个体能做的就是对其进行尽可能多的传承与传播。当然传承需要一代代人的努力。不过传播就可以停留在当下，我的这些冷静严肃的图像就是一种记录与传播。希望通过我的作品，可以使观众充分的体验到这些戏剧、芭蕾舞剧、交响乐等艺术中的的文化精神、信仰以及情感。虽不能立竿见影，起码可余音缭绕……

The realm of intangible cultural heritage has long been a source of inspiration in artistic creation. I have always held a deep fascination with ethnic and folk literature, arts, and traditional crafts. These are the very roots of cultural identity—yet in an era increasingly shaped by globalization and digitalization, many forms of intangible heritage teeter on the brink of oblivion, if not extinction. In this critical moment of cultural fading, I find myself constantly asking: how can we transcend this disappearance?
In the creation of Sounds Lingering in the Air, I bring together three elements within my images: artistic forms that are disappearing, have already vanished, or are at risk of vanishing; fossilized remnants that serve as metaphors for intangible ruins; and xiabu, a handmade ramie cloth representing a fading traditional craft. By combining these components, I seek not only to present a more distinctive way of documenting cultural relics but also to explore new possibilities in photographic expression—producing a tactile, multi-layered visual texture.
The preservation of intangible cultural heritage is a global issue—and it is both a responsibility and a calling for those of us working in the fields of culture and art. As an individual artist, what I can offer is ongoing transmission and dissemination. True inheritance requires the dedication of generations, but dissemination can happen in the present. These composed, solemn images are my form of documentation and outreach. Through my work, I hope viewers can genuinely experience the cultural spirit, belief systems, and emotional depth embedded in forms such as traditional theater, ballet, and symphonic music. While change may not be immediate, perhaps their echoes will linger on.
