Wednesday Night is a series of photographs depicting human eating habits based on one evening in the restaurant. By focusing on the off-putting subject, I am to uplift negligible details of the mundane. Inspired by my first part-time job, sometimes I found it difficult to wash plates without photographing them first. In this work, I enjoy observing how differently people eat and how much can be told about one's habits and personality. It reminds me of fortune-telling method to interpret the patterns in coffee grounds.
