Driftwoods - The afterlives of trees photo exhibition

The latest photo series from Ming Chun Chung features pictures of driftwood taken around the South Island of New Zealand.

The Driftwoods- The afterlives of trees series is an unexpected discovery. 

I saw hundreds of driftwood during my trip and none of them looked the same. Some look like insects, some look like animals, and all of them have different shapes and textures. Just like people, every person has his or her own appearance and personality. Every piece of driftwood has its own unique look and pattern. I find this driftwood fascinating and beautiful!

These driftwoods may no longer be alive, but their legacies live on. I can almost feel the wind whenever I look at these pictures. I hope the images bring you joy as much as I do.
