Artwork Appreciation
Photographer CHANG Liang-I grows up in a farming family. He records the changes of Taiwanese rural villages through his lens for years. He captures the passing away landscape for the age.
In his work Farmer, at the center of the black and white photograph is a farmer wearing leaf hat, undershirt, and short pants with bare feet. He puts his hand behind his waist and is inspecting his farm about to harvest. The mature spike of rice stretches to the foot of distant mountains backwards. It is predictable that it will be a year of harvest.
CHANG Liang-I tries to represent the simple value of the rural life in order to inspire people to guard and treasure the land, so that the relationship between the land and people will be rebuilt. He hopes officials and managers of businesses take a look at these farmers who work hard for daily life.
