What are the characteristics of Uthman's photography?

Uthman is good at making darkroom stunts and is called "the magician of images". His photographic works are characterized by amazing, unusual and mysterious images, full of imagination and creativity. From 1960, Useman began to focus on the practice of synthesizing images. He called his creative method "the discovery of illusion effect". When he is creating, he always shoots a large number of ordinary images such as rocks, oceans, sky, trees and portraits in advance, and then skillfully superimposes the images on several different negatives of the same picture through multiple magnifying glasses in the darkroom. Uthman's works have a strong surrealist style. It changes the normal relationship between space and proportion, produces the absurd effect of symbol, deformation, exaggeration and abstraction, and reflects the inner essence of modern life.
