Ziqian Liu is a Chinese
self-portrait photographer whose work combines her body, plants, and mirror
images, constantly exploring the balanced state of peaceful coexistence between
humans and nature. Her face is intestinally rarely shown because she wants the
viewers to imagine that the person in the picture can be anybody. There are two
dominant themes in Ziqian's work. The first is about the symbiosis between
human beings and nature, while the second is about perspective. She is trying
to convey a message that it is possible to disclose different findings by
looking at the same thing from different angles. Based in Shanghai, Ziqian Liu
graduated from the University of Technology Sydney in 2015 and started her
photographic journey in 2018.
