This long-term photography project was developed during my Director’s Fellowship at the International Center of Photography in New York.

Love Like a Monster captures the evolution of Voidpunk, a counterculture in the Hong Kong megalopolis where marginalized individuals who have faced dehumanization reclaim their identities by embracing non-human avatars.

This work combines documentary realism with speculative fiction, visually transforming subjects into mythical, cinematic, and luminous figures. Bridging ancient Chinese mythology with a contemporary narrative of defiance, the project captures the powerful journey of self-love and transcendence.
