Shufang Xiao

Shufang Xiao made monochrome photographs in the late 1980s, often isolating single flowers against plain backgrounds. In the gallery you’ll see the 1989 Iris, thin petals wrapped around a dark center, lit so each rib shows. The print trades sharp focus for a quiet mood, letting a single bloom fill the frame. Tap Iris to see how subtle light and deep shadow turn petals into lace.
