This photo collection is composed of five themes, capturing the flowing light and fleeting memories in different settings through the lens. Each page records the subtle connections between people and places, light and shadow, emotions and environments.
In XiMenDing, blurred images resemble the afterimages of time, where the sounds and shapes of hurried passersby intertwine, as if narrating an ephemeral chapter of urban life. Gongliao, on the other hand, moves to a different rhythm—its vast beaches and boundless sea become symbols of freedom, with the haze of alcohol and the rumble of trains painting a picture of spontaneity and ease. The days of commuting are no longer monotonous repetition; the author attempts to explore the extraordinary within the ordinary by varying the routes to work and using the camera to document these possibilities. Bitan preserves the landscapes of a once-thriving tourist spot and the lives of its locals, while also holding traces of the youthful memories from the author’s parents. Finally, along the endless stretch of Taiwan Provincial Highway 2, the shifting light of day and night accompanies the author in a playful chase with trucks and streetlights, a hundred-kilometer journey that carries moments of solitude without loneliness.
This is a work that annotates the intersection of time and space with images, drawn from the experiences between daily life and travel.
◯ The photo book is available for purchase on the Moombook Shop website and in-store.

本攝影集由五個主題構成，透過鏡頭捕捉不同場域中的流動光影與瞬間記憶。每一頁皆記錄著人與地、光與影、情與境的微妙關聯。
在西門町，模糊的影像像是時光的殘影，匆匆過客的聲氣與形影交織，彷彿訴說著轉瞬即逝的都市篇章。貢寮則是另一種節奏，廣闊的沙灘與無垠的海面成了自由的象徵，酒精的醺然與火車的轟鳴勾勒出一幅隨性與自在的畫面。通勤的日子不再是一成不變的重複，作者試圖藉由變換不同上班的路線，以鏡頭探索平凡中不平凡的可能性。碧潭記載了昔日盛名的觀光地景與在地人事，也蘊藏著父母回憶中的青春痕跡。最後，在台二線的漫長路途中，日夜交替的光影陪伴著作者與卡車及路燈的相互追逐遊戲，百公里的路程承載了獨行卻不孤單的片刻。
這是一本透過日常與旅途之間歷程，以影像註解時空交錯的作品。
