My Solo Photography Exhibition
November 22, 2017, I got a call offering me to have my first solo photography exhibition in San Francisco, CA on March 1 - 31, 2018. I am so thrilled and excited to make it all happen, so I said YES.
I will exhibit my fine art series "Body Distorted". An exotic black and white photographs that showcase abstract formation using the human body. It constantly questions your state of mind in figuring out what limb tangled what and will appreciate the intricacy of God's Masterpiece, our delicate yet durable body.
Two images from this series got selected in Academy of Art University Springshow 2017 for Photography Department and one image won the "Best of Show" from among hundreds of entries and judged by the top curators and photography experts in the industry.

Please help me to make this show happen and to inspire artists to create more beautiful bodies of work which our only way to support, promote, and help them with their livelihood. Art is not just an appreciation but also an outlet to convey unique ideas and making it happen
in a truthful way which we have specialized and mastered. So you will not see some mediocre art!
I started this gofundme campaign because I need to cover for the production of all the images that will be displayed in the exhibition. I am planning to showcase 23-36 images for that solo show. Expenses will be allocated to printing, gathering all materials for matting and framing. Emerging artists like me always have this kind of struggle which makes new artists have a hard time finding clients and/or selling our works. We should support these artists to continue the creation of great art!
To my friends, colleagues, and ever supporting family all-over-the-world, I hope for the coming Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year, special holidays, or even my advance Birthday, instead of sending gifts for me, I encourage you just donate to this campaign to make my solo show possible. I will dearly appreciate it in any denomination (well, hopefully, bigger too!), my endless thank you will be for you!
