From the first solid body of work, “APHASIA” to the newest projects, "TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD " and “CHINESE,OVERSHADOWED BY CHINA” , Hai Zhang has been consistently and closely observing and examining humanity, whether focusing on an intimate personal subject or taking wider concerns of society. While the photos are as much about the photographer as they are about the subject, the images could not be more honest. Merging the personal experience with the subject has added weight to the works. Rather than unilateral presentations, these photographs suggest dialogues.

Hai Zhang's photographic works have been exhibited in Kansas State University, Asian American Arts Center in New York City and other galleries and institutions in New York City, Washington, DC and China. Recently, he worked on the movie, Letter on the Blind for the Use of Those Who See , directed by the acclaimed artist/filmmaker Javier Tellez, which is featured in the Whitney Biennial 2008. Zhang's works have been included in the private and public collections in the United States and Great Britain. Currently, Hai Zhang resides in New York City.
