Thinking about invisibility and visibility, I went out and captured some images for my research on the relationship between the person and space. I wanted to see what becomes dominant and what isn't.

Looking at this image of the void, we start to look for traces of human activity instead of the natural surroundings. It could be the way I shot the image, or we could be trained to look for human activity. The car becomes the main object of the space, and then the light which cast on the tree. Even without the human subject, we still apply ourselves into the image, and not looking at the void.

My second attempt was to apply a human figure into the image, however, when I look at this image the figure still does not attract my attention, but the remanence of human activity inside the house. I am drawn to the obscurity of the house, and the dark spaces it is surrounded by. I find that space become increasingly visible even when they are present, and I think this is because of our curiosity to find or to explore what is unknown.

I am very drawn to this image due to the fact, and I am very interested in the absence of an image than the presence of something tangible. The present of a person is less important when they are present. I feel that the absence of a person actually makes the person more visible through the invisible.
