Celebrating Small Pleasures Every Day
In the heart of London, a city teeming with life and bustling with activity, photographer Sirui Ma has found a home. Through her lens, she captures the quiet beauty in the minutiae of everyday life and interactions, particularly in urban environments.
Sirui Ma's latest project, Little Things Mean a Lot, is a self-portrait of sorts, with different parts of her reflected in the images of women around her. The project, shot over the course of about a year, focuses on capturing the small ways in which she finds joy and beauty in the vast city of London.
Born and raised between Beijing and London, Sirui Ma's unique visual sensitivity and cultural perspective are evident in her work. Her upbringing as an only child and her numerous moves before settling in London have undoubtedly shaped her empathetic and intimate perspective.
The project is associated with a membership community, although the specifics of this relationship are not detailed. Supporting the work of this community offers a complimentary subscription to Atmos Magazine. The community's name, duration, location, size, and specific goals or mission remain undisclosed.
In the photos, Sirui Ma sees herself in all beings, both human and non-human. She subconsciously looks for traces of herself in the people she photographs to connect with them and convey feelings through her work. Through this project, she announces that she has finally found a home in London, where her friends have become her chosen family and community.
Sirui Ma's work has been exhibited in Paris and beyond, and she is preparing or has published a debut book focused on her photographic themes, which likely delve further into everyday life and human interactions in city contexts. Her approach emphasizes observation and empathy, capturing beauty in subtle, ordinary moments rather than dramatic or staged scenes.
