Seasonal change was central to Yang’s engagement with Innisfree. He returned in winter for the stark silhouettes of trees and stone against snow, in spring for emergent textures, and in autumn for the long light that softened edges. This cyclical approach reflected Collins’ belief that a garden should offer new experiences year-round. Yang’s photographs bear witness to that rhythm, their tonal range and compositional clarity turning temporal variation into enduring records of the garden’s living design.
