《时间旅行者》这幅数字图像作品探问了数字化时代个性和自省的本质，以及在广阔宇宙之中体现这一本质的事件的短暂价值。此外，照片能把信息在几代人间传递下去，凝结此刻、揭示过往，但在这里它被一种自我的永恒表现打断。关乎个体性的位置概念消失了，图像就像一张平铺的世界地图。对落伍的人而言，科技进步有许多残酷的想法。空间从自我的边缘开始并终结；时间正在日渐减少的互动缝隙中消失。

“The Time Traveler” is a digital picture that questions the nature of character and self-reflection in the era of digitalization and the ephemeral valuing of the events it represents inside our vast universe. At the same time, the ability of the photograph to transfer information through generations, forming our present and revealing our past, is here interrupted by a timeless representation of one’s self. The idea of location, thus individuality, has vanished, similar to a two-dimensional unwrapped map of the earth. The technological advancements have turned into a field of cruel ideas in the eyes of those who are left behind. Personal needs have been transformed into ideologies trying to survive in their uninhabitable society. Space is starting and ending at the edges of one’s self, and Time is vanishing between the gaps of declining interactions.
