方佳琳(Clara M. Emery),出生於1997年,她畢業於芝加哥藝術學院(SAIC)攝影創作碩士、明尼阿波利斯藝術與設計學院(MCAD)攝影系。融合了童年時期在西北太平洋和台灣的經驗,她從美國新墨西哥州的希拉荒野(Gila Wilderness)傳承下來的故事中汲取靈感,並透過實驗錄像與大片幅攝影編織歷史、記憶和迷信,汲取漫溢在可見與不可見之間破碎且連續的領域。目前,她在傅爾布萊特研究獎助金的支持下製作一個關於台灣民間宗教故事的電影。

Clara Emery (b. 1997; Seattle, WA) uses large format photography and experimental film to capture fragments along the continuum of visible and invisible realms. Drawing from tales inherited from the Gila Wilderness, and traditions adopted in childhood from the Pacific Northwest and Taiwan, she weaves together history, memory, and superstition. Emery graduated from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design in 2019 with a degree in Photography, and received her MFA in Photography at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2023. She is currently a Fulbright fellow in Taiwan.
