Trans mediation filter 4

The visual field is a frame for seeing, and according to the painting theory of Alberti, painting is paralleled with windows. Drawing on the analogy of painting as a window, Chu uses his work as a conduit to open a gateway between the material and spiritual realms, an excellent way to explore "seeing". And by layering vivid and realistic imagery sourced from photography, he creates scenes that are reminiscent of traditional Japanese water-based woodblock prints; using framing and composition, Chu invites the viewer to reconsider and delve deeper into the very nature of visual perception and explore the myriad of other worlds that emerge from this framework.
