THE UNIVERSAL LAWS OF LOVE
The philosophy of the I Ching states that the universe and everything within it is governed by the principle of change. In "The Universal Laws of Love," I explore a failed love story, confronting it with the I Ching oracle to understand my mistaken beliefs about love. The fear of love is an ailment that has infected humanity. In society, fear directly contrasts with and stifles love. A community that fosters fear cannot experience life freely. Each photograph in the project represents a mountain hexagram from the I Ching oracle, incorporating the five elements of Taoism. The woman dressed in pink embodies the pink mountain of the I Ching in pursuit of bliss. The encrypted laws about life and love in the I Ching oracle have existed for four thousand years. These laws help the planet evolve. I realized that living aligned with the laws that govern humanity means exploring a new path aligned with universal love.
"The Universal Laws of Love" is a project based on the study of universal laws that I began during the "As Above So Below" series in 2020.

“The light of the sky rises above the mountain to distant heights, remaining unreachable”.
Sometimes it's necessary to create distance in love.
Stepping back means letting go and becoming detached.
Although it may sound illogical, it's for love.
