“In the scenery, the feeling of the heart and atmosphere perceptible to the eye is also conveyed through her photographs. Hui Yu’s creative thoughts on the control of visual elements, the precise imaging of life situations make people want to come back and relive these shared moments again and again. “-- Ben Yu
"Apart from memories and experiences that could just as easily be yours or mine, a mother explores her relationship with her children and herself, sifting through the everyday snapshots of her life to reflect upon the intimate, heartfelt moments that are oftentimes so hard to express. Profound and striking, with a deep, lasting impact. “-- Shen Chao-Liang
Lo Hui-Yu’s debut album book, "A Quiet Life", took five years to shoot, documenting the growth of the twins whilst also capturing the oft overlooked scenery of Hualien. Among the portrayal of everyday life, it is a mother's exploration of her spiritual world.
With the twins out of infancy, I was gradually freed from the shackles of constant low-back pain and began to take the twins out to wander around in nature: picking up leaves, observing insects, feeling the breeze... Slowly, I recovered from the constant exhaustion that had shadowed me for two years, a period obscured by the sleepy haze of motherhood. Every time a baby cried, I could feel myself slowly being pushed to my limit, and I soon began taking pictures with my camera whenever the twins cried. Though I seemed serene on the surface, I was still riding out the waves of my emotions.
『這本攝影集，除了是你我都可能有過的記憶或經歷，一位母親與孩子，與自己，最尋常私密的繾蜷話語，更是與那難以具體闡明，所謂純粹的影像力量的趨近與探索。』---藝術家 沈昭良
