Chou employs a signature method allowing spontaneity and authenticity in her images. This technique emphasises the unexpected beauty found in everyday scenes blending themes of space, identity, and cultural context. Chou's work often tells a story, inviting viewers to engage with the layers of meaning and emotion present in her compositions.
