A world away from celebrity portraiture, they focus not so much on their subjects ’social or material standing but on their individuality —in particular on their eyes. Close to the Eyes presents seventy of the photographer ’s most powerful works, taken during her recent travels in North and South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Commentary written by Xiao Hui Wang sheds light on her art.
