The general concept I want to focus on is:
“The Everyday Pulse of Hutong Life”

What will be captured here is an idea of daily rituals, interactions, and information in details that define life in the historic Hutong neighborhoods of Beijing. This is where fragile balancing of tradition and modernity comes into view, bringing forth all those little moments usually overlooked, yet showing what these communities are actually like. Emphasize the intimate and lived-in quality of Hutong life and day-to-day people, places, and patterns that constitute the rhythm of the alleyways-be it an elderly man sitting at a noodle cart, children playing in a courtyard, or crumbling texture of the old bricks that have seen generations come and go. It is through these images that I want to capture the architecture and culture but also the heartbeat of a community which would be deeply tied with its past and its future.
