In the series Seascape- “Yan” Qian Jin experiments with the illusory possibilities of the photography, inspired by traditional Chinese painting. Like memories of the sea they are shot through a cabin window, creating a blur, or ambiguity, between the ever-changing sky and ocean.

The jury has chosen Qian Jin’s works for their almost abstract, poetic quality and their subtle reference to the traditions of Chinese painting.
