Window Flowers

作品賞析

Isa Ho’s photographs are often taken using bottom-to-top perspectives, providing a unique view on external objects while reflecting upon the values of modern society. Window Flowers is an analogy of how people view external objects. The decorative elements on the windows are applied by people, just as how we chose to observe the world and establish our own expectations. The background of the picture is the ten most luxurious housing units in Taiwan. If not specifically mentioned, most people would not be able to recognize them. A luxurious house is a home, yet acquiring luxury items, jewelry, or fantasies constructed by ourselves or the media transform it into a luxurious house that can only be viewed from afar. Isa Ho’s photographs and combinations with various objects serve as an analogy and summarize how modern people think about homes and the virtual satisfaction we derive from our material desires.
