Since the Song Dynasty, Chinese artists have been inspired to use pingtiao (set of scrolls) to display their works. These scrolls can be used separately to showcase different calligraphy works or paintings, or they can collectively display one single work (with multiple scrolls combining to create a unified piece). This form of display is sometimes referred to as haiman, the "sea curtain" mounting. Shadow Curtains is a photographic series that follows this form of aesthetic tradition. In the Shadow Curtains series, several excerpts drawn from a single 35mm frame of film is selected and then distributed across several scrolls. In this specific piece, the imagery captured is a section of a ginkgo tree which has a long history of 1400 years, located in the Guanyin Chan Temple in Shaanxi Province in China.
