She Huo is a centuries old event that takes place in the countryside, around Chinese New Year. She stands for “God of the land” and Huo literally means “fire”. The fire expels evil spirits and the God of the land brings blessings, derived from witchcraft and totem worship of remote antiquity. It is designed to bring good harvest and fortune for the New Year.
It reminds me a sense of alienation, fairytale and mystery. I tried to capture this atmosphere in my photos.
I left China at a young age. Through photography I feel like I can research my own background. By photographing this subject I tried to learn more about the traditional culture and the people. And find out what it means to me personally.
The results can be seen in these series of photos.
