“The purpose of decomposition, in general, is to break a complex idea into small, easy-understood concepts,” says Ting-Li Lin. Instead of perceiving the world as a whole, I find it fascinating to just look at the elements of it, and thus the creation of the Decomposing series. In this series, I applied the idea of decomposition to architecture photography. Not only do I pay attention to the forms and shapes of the interior of buildings, I also choose the light sources carefully so that the interior is luminous in a certain way.”
