The Same River, 2021
inkjet print, 48x72inch
The Permanent Collection on Display, Hua Jin & James Nizam, Parc Edgewater, Pointe-Claire.
Curated by Stewart Hall Art Gallery
Each of these five photos is a composite of multiple moments, all captured in the same location within the same timeframe. Unlike traditional photography, which freezes a single instant, these images layer countless ripples of water, merging time and motion into a single frame. The delicate textures of the waves create a scene that feels both familiar and dreamlike—where reality, illusion, and the surreal blur together. By stacking time vertically rather than letting it flow horizontally, the images transform flowing water into an unexpectedly serene composition. This approach offers a fresh perspective on landscapes, inviting contemplation on time and movement.
