OutLander Campaign Photography
As an artist deeply inspired by the interplay between urban landscapes and natural environments, Dongyun Liu strives to capture the harmonious coexistence of these two worlds in her work. Born and raised in Inner Mongolia, she was immersed in the vast beauty of the grasslands, instilling a profound appreciation for nature. Later, her experiences living in cities like Chicago further fueled her fascination with the juxtaposition of urban architecture and the organic forms of the natural world. Drawing from her multicultural background and diverse influences, Dongyun creates art that reflects the dynamic relationship between humanity and its surroundings. Her work evokes contemplation of the balance between urban development and environmental preservation, ultimately advocating for a more sustainable and harmonious future.
