Material: iPhone 13 Idea:  I wanted to express hope, so I used sunlight. I tried to run towards the sun to reflect my vision of the bright future instead of being controlled and always stay in the dark. Process:  I found a sunny day, set up the phone holder in a place where the sun could reach it and shown the most , and then I performed the running action. Finally some filters and elements of sunlight were used to add texture to the image.

Idea: I will still keep my focus on the concept of hope. The reference photos below are basically what I aim at this time. I will use the running scene to show my escape and the bright future that is waiting for me.

Material: canon a630 Idea: Beginning this piece, I will focus on the concept of hope, which is the positive side, gradually shifting away from the negative emotions and expressions that were present before. This piece mainly symbolizes my escape from parental control and the attainment of freedom and hope. Idea: I embody hope and freedom through an upward perspective, and to complete the composition of the photo, I placed tree branches within it. By adding some bright warm-toned filters, the overall image appears less oppressive, reflecting positivity, vitality, and hopefulness.

Idea: I'm gonna turn my focus to hope, emphasizing the current situation of hope and freedom, escaping from my parents' control. Photos below are my reference.

Material: Camera, Iphone Idea: In this piece I juxtapose two pieces. On one side is the image my parents have in mind: reading books all day, and studying diligently; however, on the other side is the actual reality: being overwhelmed in the books due to parental control, which is very painful for me.  Process: I first used many books as props, placing them in various positions. Then, I sat in the middle of the book pile to create a sense of being surrounded by books, while also conveying a suffocating feeling oppressed by these books. I captured shots from different angles and poses, overlaid two of them, and finally applied a few filters.

Material: Iphone, paper Idea: I wrote on some scraps of paper about what I lost under parental control, including freedom and happiness. One side represents the pain and oppression I'm going through, while the other side symbolizes my desire for "revenge," to break free from this control. Process: I tore the paper into irregular pieces, wrote down what I wanted to express on them, and stuck them on my face. Then, I took selfies with my phone and flashlight, capturing different expressions. Finally, I overlaid them to create a composite image.
