Fears

What are your fears / thoughts about going to the hutongs to take photographs?

• Feeling intrusive photographing people in their personal spaces
• Uncertainty about how locals will react to being photographed

How will you (try to) overcome your fears (if you have them)?

• Approach people with respect, be mindful of body language
• Blend into the environment, using subtle techniques to avoid drawing attention
• Captre details and atmosphere rather than just the people

Statement of Intent:

The message of my triptych will be to highlight the forgotten beauty of industrial sites, particularly in places like Beijing’s 798 Art District, which used to be a factory complex that is not a center for creativity. Through abstract photography, I will capture the shapes and buildings, specifically the textures and patterns that are found in old industrial structures. I want my audience to feel this sense of reflection on where we come from, showing how industrial remnants can transform into abstract works of art. In my view, industrial sites are not just remnants of the past but room for creative reinterpretations.
