China

These photographs are from trip to Shanghai and Chengdu, China in 2011. I was visiting as part of a design competition to design a theoretical “vertical city” on the outskirts of Chengdu. These photographs juxtapose the old and new China, coexisting both peacefully and at odds. They explore the people, living in the past, present, and future. And they expose the intense textures, patterns, and forms so prevalent across these two cities.
