THE IDEA

Words throw a lot away. A pause, a sigh, the hesitation before a name — that is where you are. Tàyìng keeps what words leave behind, and renders it as a portrait.

What words discard

Speech-to-text flattens texture, tone, rhythm and silence. We do the opposite — we keep only the discarded part.

The time you stayed

A portrait condenses the time you stayed present. The longer you speak, pause and hesitate, the denser it grows. Attention itself is the material.

Like a museum label

Every portrait comes with a museum-style label — title, author, medium, a few words. Not just an image, but a work taken seriously.

“You have been seen.”
