"Residual Heat" (2021) is a series that presents images of fallen soldiers made by a thermal camera. Unlike war journalism photos, these kinds of war images are usually seen in modern conflicts and somehow offer the audience a cooler, more innocent, and safer observing distance. In the works, we can hardly project our personal positions because of the indistinguishable uniforms and faces. Nevertheless, the shapes of the weapons vaguely reveal their historical status—they clearly don’t belong to the present time. "Residual Heat" preserves body temperature, something we all share despite the war, from the past to now.

〈餘溫〉（2021）以熱感相機拍攝了擺拍的陣亡士兵景象。與近距離的傳統戰爭報導攝影相比，如此的戰爭影像提供了一種較遠，或者說無情、無辜、又安全的距離。因為幾乎無法看清軍服與臉孔，我們並無法分辨出他們所效忠的陣營，也就從而無法投射立場，只有生命消失後所留存下來的相同體溫。
