The double speed of the dragon

This work explores the fascinating duality of ideologies within the country, reflected in the growth of new city constructions and the rural-to-urban migration driven by the allure of “Made in China.” Through my images, I seek to capture the intersection between capitalism and communism, and how these forces shape the landscape and people’s lives.

Several of the photographs were acquired by private collectors.
