This documentary photo series captures a Taiwanese folk ritual of exorcism and protection performed by a spirit medium at an accident-prone intersection. The photos depict talisman-waving, salt-scattering, joss paper burning, and placement of Five Camps flags. These frames convey both solemnity and spiritual tension, documenting a ritual that blends tradition, community, and cultural resilience.
