Zixuan Zhao 赵梓萱 (b. Henan, China), go by Echo, based in New York. She often wonders how to archive smell, exploring olfactory storytelling.
She enjoys observing ripples, stones, and shells—things that coexist as both fleeting and lasting. Her photographic work is a nostalgic ode to everyday, mundane moments, finding renewed significance in celebrating the inconsequential and uncovering the allure in the ordinary.
Just like an echo, a moment will come when you hear it.
