Selected in Prêmio Portfólio FotoDoc 2026

In the Bible, God admonishes people to drive away darkness with light, and Christ is equal to the promise of life and the eternal day, as is the morning star. In Buddhism, a better life and encounter is achieved by renouncing material things and adhering to meditation and mindfulness of compassion.

With more than 4,000 active religious systems coexisting around the world, what is it about this global phenomenon that keeps it alive across time and space?

By observing how people believe, rather than considering what they believe, we will realize that humans may be naturally inclined to believe in the existence of a supernatural world. Stories, objects, images, prayers, meditations and rituals can all provide ways for people to cope with the anxieties of the world and help form strong social bonds. People’s lives became more orderly and understandable as a result.

Religion and faith in Romantic poetry are visions of a society and religion achieving a great synthesis.” In these seemingly mundane sculptures and scenes, the importance of faith to a culture is explored, as well as the coexistence of multiple human civilizations in the current historical context of change and singular regeneration. The fusion and collocation of different cultural images and the overlapping symbiosis of time and space form a surreal cultural metaphor and a new visual iconography.

Lei jiang

Shanghai-based creative designer Jiang Lei, whose daily work focuses on product design, visual creativity, and artistic creation using video, pays attention to the habits and behaviours of different cultural belief systems, and uses his imagination in his artworks to convey a way of looking at the world, creating a new visual schema that tends to be surreal. As well as the desire and pursuit of spiritual freedom beyond reality. In his free time, he likes to curl up on a floating window, read different books and participate in some outdoor adventures during holidays.
