The word Pearl in the title not only relates to the name of the street, which is visible in the upper right corner of the photograph, but also, to the brown building which, for me, is so unique that makes me feel like it's a gem comparable to the brown Pearl.

Set On Fire!
While walking in Manhattan, I looked up and I saw this big red cloud of, as I mistakenly thought, smoke coming out from the roof of this building.

BUT it wasn't a smoke! It was a cloud, with a reflection of a strong red light coming from the lighted Empire State Building, and this made the building in the picture look like it is Set On Fire!

Turpism: The NYC Subway
Turpism: The NYC Subway
In Latin, turpism means "ugly". It was an art movement that considered ugliness as beauty.

Therefore, an art piece following turpism depicts things that are rejected, hidden, or censored by society to reveal the truth about the darker side of reality.

My photo titled The NYC Subway follows this concept. We can see a very dirty wall full of leakages and rust. The grid on the mysterious window makes me feel that a monster may be hidden in this dark space behind the wall, which enhances the unknown character of the underground space of New York.

Even though this whole scene is the opposite of what people would call beautiful, there is something about it that intrigues me and makes me adore it.

"The Social Mask Everyone Wears"
"The Social Mask Everyone Wears"
"The Social Mask Everyone Wears" is a very symbolic photography. You can see a house which is a metaphor of a human being and the human body, and the human being/body is a “house” for a soul.
The building is perfectly centered, and the front wall and the back divide the painting into two halves. This is supposed to reflect the humans' dual nature: physical and emotional.
The front of the house represents the face of an individual. The back of the house symbolizes the inside of a person; their emotions, soul, and energy.
First, the front:
it is a metaphor of the “Social Mask Everyone Wears”, the shallow surface, people put on their face while interacting with others to pretend that everything in our life is amazing.
the windows represent eyes, and eyes are the mirror of the soul. The window frames are white and clean, however, the inside of the windows is dark which represents the emotions sitting in the soul of a person who wears this shallow Social Mask.
the doors are like a mouth; open, expressive, full of brightness coming from the inside. This reflects the idea of what people wearing the Social Mask say. Everything coming out from their mouth seems to be very beautiful, nice, and positive. They also talk a lot, like they needed to hide what their sad eyes say about their inner world.
Second, the back:
the back of the house is covered by half-living-half-fading vines, and the further they go, the more life-less they become. This symbolizes the sadness and darkness of a suffering soul. The deeper you go, the less life, health, and energy are in it. Also, dark colors reflect the negativity and mystery of the soul
