    it looks beautiful from afar (2022) - Graduation Project - "It Looks Beautiful from Afar," explores the concept of bringing digital imagery into physical form and celebrating the imperfections and amateur qualities of images. The project primarily features photographs of abandoned objects and food, as well as "failed" panoramic images and internet memes. Through this project, I aim to encourage viewers to take a closer look at things that may not appear perfect at first glance and discover the beauty in imperfection, rather than being preoccupied with high-quality visuals.
