Autonomous Health Management The Autonomous Health Management series is a collection of photographs captured by WU Cheng-Tse during a two-month period of self-management at home amid the outbreak of the 2021 pandemic.

Metal objects reflect the temporal and spatial environment of the photographer (simultaneously the subject) at that moment. The purchase and use of everyday items are inherently linked to "desire", but during the pandemic, the allowance for the use of these items has been erased. The outbreak not only stripped away the desire to use everyday items but, to some extent, also weakened the desire to survive.

自主健康管理《自主健康管理》系列作品是2021年疫情爆發期間，吳承澤於家中自主管理兩個月所拍攝的攝影作品。

金屬用品映射出拍攝者（同時也是被攝者）當下所處的時空環境。生活用品的購買與使用，本身即與「慾望」產生關聯，防疫期間則抹滅了生活用品使用的允許。疫情不僅剝奪了使用生活用品的慾望，某種程度也削弱了生存的慾望。

此系列作品希望透過物慾喚起生存的慾望。期望有天疫情消散如煙時，能再度拾起生活用品，回歸往昔美好的日常。
