在日本轻井泽拍摄的摄影系列中，我通过禅宗美学的镜头探索自然界转瞬即逝和空灵的特质。
每一幅图像都是通往临界空间的窗口，现实在其中变得模糊和扭曲，熟悉的事物通过新的视角被转化为陌生的景象。那些曾经坚实的东西，现在呈现出一种悬浮的状态，邀请观众重新审视感知的本质。这些瞬间既脆弱又短暂，展现出一种介于二者之间的状态，仿佛世界屏住了呼吸。
这一系列作品最终代表了我对“间”（ma）的持续探索——时间的停顿、空间的间隙或空虚，以及存在于物质与形而上之间、可见与不可见之间的临界空间。

In the photographic series from Karuizawa, Japan, I explore the ephemeral and ethereal qualities of the natural world through the lens of zen aesthetics.
Each image is a window into the liminal space where reality blurs and distorts, where the familiar is transformed into the unfamiliar through a new vantage point. What was once firmly grounded, now presents itself in a state of suspense, inviting the viewer to reevaluate the nature of perception. These transient moments, fragile and fleeting, present themselves as an in-between. As if the world is holding its breath.
Ultimately, the series represents my ongoing exploration of the concept of ma (a pause in time, an interval, or emptiness in space), and the liminal space that exists between the physical and the metaphysical, the seen and the unseen.

何居怡1975年出生在香港。她的作品曾在墨尔本、东京、首尔、上海、北京、三亚及香港展出。何居怡的作品以一种强烈而优雅的氛围为特色，这源于她对禅宗美学的关注，诸如“物哀”（mono no aware，万物的感伤）、“侘寂”（wabi，朴素、简约之美）、“寂”（sabi，古朴的风韵）以及“间”（ma，空隙与间隔）的概念。
何居怡的黑白风景作品捕捉生命的无常，通过这些作品，唤起深刻的情感共鸣，呈现出一种世界观，在这种世界观中，熟悉与平凡变得富有诗意，有时甚至显得无规律，成为时间的梦幻浮想。
何居怡毕业于香港艺术学院与皇家墨尔本理工大学（RMIT）合作的美术学士课程（2011年）和美术硕士课程（2014年），并于2018年获得澳大利亚皇家墨尔本理工大学的哲学博士学位。
Daphne Alexis Ho was born in 1975 in Hong Kong. Her work has been exhibited in Melbourne, Tokyo, Seoul, Shanghai, Beijing, Sanya and Hong Kong. Daphne’s work is characterised by a strong and elegiac quality, the outcome of the artist’s focus on zen aesthetics, such as the concepts of mono no aware (the pathos of things), wabi (subdued, austere beauty), sabi (rustic patina), and ma (interval).
Capturing the impermanent nature of life, Ho’s monochromatic landscapes evoke profound emotional sensibilities, ushering in a worldview where the familiar and mundane becomes poetic, and at times erratic, reveries of time.
Daphne Alexis Ho is a graduate of Bachelor of Fine Art (2011) and Master of Fine Art (2014) at Hong Kong Art School x RMIT, and Doctor of Philosophy (2018) at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Australia.
