Enzo Li

Born in 2023, British Columbia, Canada

When one-year-old Enzo picked up his grandmother’s phone and swiped across the screen with his tiny hands, he unexpectedly opened a door to the world of photographic art. Without any understanding of aperture, shutter speed, or composition, he relied purely on intuition and innocence to capture images that astonish and inspire.

Through a downward glance, he found the serenity and symmetry of mandalas; looking upward, he noticed the subtle, uneven interactions between people. These everyday moments, often overlooked, became vivid and profound through his lens, resonating deeply with viewers.

Art is no longer an unattainable concept in an ivory tower—it reveals itself like a mischievous child, slipping into our lives unnoticed. Through his pure gaze, Enzo reminds us that the artistic effects adults strive to achieve can sometimes emerge effortlessly from a child’s unintentional gestures.

This exhibition showcases not only the world through a child’s eyes but also a reflection on the essence of art itself—perhaps it requires no rigid rules or boundaries, only sincerity and a genuine curiosity about the world.

Step into Enzo’s world of photography and experience the unexpected joy and wonder it brings.

Enzo Li, 2023年生于加拿大卑诗省

当一岁的Enzo拿起奶奶的手机，用稚嫩的小手在屏幕上随意滑动时，竟然意外地开启了一扇摄影艺术的大门。他不懂光圈与快门的复杂参数，也未曾学习构图的技巧，却凭借直觉与天真，定格了一幅幅让人惊叹的画面。

他俯视时捕捉到了曼陀罗的静谧与秩序，仰视时发现了人与人之间不平行的微妙关系。这些日常中被忽略的瞬间，在他的镜头下变得生动而深刻，让人感受到直击心灵的力量。

艺术不再是高高在上的象牙塔，而像一个淘气的孩子，在生活的缝隙中悄然现身。Enzo用他纯真的眼光告诉我们：那些成年人苦苦追寻的艺术效果，有时不过是孩童无心之举的自然呈现。

本次展览呈现的不仅是一个孩子的视界，更是一种关于艺术本源的思考——它或许并不需要规则与束缚，而只需一份真挚和对世界的好奇。

欢迎步入Enzo的镜头世界，感受那份不经意的惊喜与欢乐。
