The micro-cosmic view of an ant and the lyrical world of a piano, from the two earliest series by the artist, interweaved to portray the subtlety of the soul. Her works smoothly transmit the delicate feelings and insight of life extracted from people, situations, and objects easily encountered in our everyday life.
“Writing diaries with photos” is how Ling Ling first started photography. With constant practice, she realized that such a technique of “turning moments into eternity” does not only record the appearance of the scene of a moment, but also turn one’s feelings, ideas, and concepts of that moment into an energy that moves the viewers. As the contemporary photographer Annie Leibovitz said: "People buy ideas, they don’t buy photographs."
Ling Ling’s most powerful equipment for creativity is her unique insight of things and values. From different angles her work grasps the beauty of the real world, making "meaning to be visualized" the most significant feature of her work.
In photos taking ants as the subject, Ling Ling zoomed in on the ants as if by magic, giving them vivid expression, emitting the unique brilliance of life. The affectionate world of piano series conveys emotions between people and all things. The serene images hold ample thoughts and sensations. Works out of these two series: “Forever Resonance / For You”, “Forever Resonance / Happy Encounter”, “Ant is Artist / Let’s Dance, have won in USA the “Solo Exhibition Award in 2010 Personality,” presenting her a rare opportunity of displaying 15 pieces of her works in a small-scale individual exhibition.
“Serene / Awaiting Sunrise”, presenting the beauty of an ordinary scene in the serene atmosphere and the poetic compositions, has won the
Honorable Mention Award in USA “2010 International Landscape Art Contest” and in the “43rd E.A. International Salon of Photography – HK”. In July, Ling Ling’s work was selected to exhibit in UK “2010 Cork Street Open Exhibition” known for discovering emerging artists. Situated behind the British Royal Academy of Arts, Cork street is dominated by top art galleries. Cork street in London is like SoHo in New York, and Champs Elysées in Paris. "Cork Street Open Award Exhibition" is a stage set up annually for discovering emerging artists.
In 2019, Ling Ling develops the series of “Treasure Bowl.” She uses three elements -- butterfly (a symbol of fortune), lotus (an icon for flourishing), and antique coins -- to create the dimensional “treasure bowl.” She believes that creativity is more than ideas; it involves also diverse forms of expression.
