「我離開這裡的時候,腦海中唯一 能想到的家鄉和童年,就是潮濕空氣中的鹽味和南風的熱氣。」

《甜園》是 pleaseandpeace studio 出版的第一本攝影集，前身是作者個人的攝影記錄計劃，每年回家期間都會做的短暫拍攝。後來這個南方的小城由於旅遊區改造，老城區拆遷重建，雖有大量旅客到來，但悠閒自在的日常生活卻沒有過多的改變。 

新書中抹去了原來直接紀實的地域標記，用一種「新」去探討當下城市環境不斷變化和過去記憶之間的狀態。

Sweet Garden: ”When I left here, the only thing in my mind that reminded me of my hometown and childhood was the salty smell in the damp air and the hot wind from the south.“

Sweet Garden is the first photography collection published by pleaseandpeace studio. It started as a personal photography project, capturing brief moments during the author‘s annual visits home. The small southern city has undergone major transformations due to its development into a tourist area, with the old city area demolished and rebuilt, and an influx of visitors. However, the easygoing daily life has remained largely unchanged. The new book removes the direct geographical markers of the original realistic approach and explores the relationship between the constantly changing urban environment and the past memories through a ”new“ perspective.
