"Many of my blackwater photographs were captured in Hainan, and I have embarked on multiple sea expeditions from Sanya with deep-sea research teams for photography," he said, emphasizing the unique significance of showcasing these works at the Yazhou Bay Science and Technology City.

"For me, the ocean is not a destination but a home. I hope to explore the unknown as much as possible within the limited span of my life and use a beautiful manner to document what I see, enabling more people to understand the vastness of the ocean," Zhang said.

The exhibition runs for 20 days, from Dec 21 to Jan 9.
