“Photography and Self-healing” – Connecting the Body-mind with the use of Art
Art seems to be out of reach for the public, and our focus on the art works always lie on the “beauty” of its appearance. But art is actually in our daily life, through the use of art, we can understand the inner world of ourselves and the others, and through the expression and release of the emotions during the art creation process, someone can find the healing for their body and mind.
In this talk, we would explore how to use photography to observe and capture our emotions, and to explore ways to express and release our worries and stress. Through discovering different perspectives of life, we can appreciate the different “beauty” in our life.
