CONCRETE REFLECTIONS
凝固映像

Shanghai, 2013–ongoing



Concrete Reflections is an ongoing photographic exploration of Shanghai, seeking to capture something of the psychological impression the city leaves on those who live within it. Shanghai has been my home for the past fifteen years, and the series has developed over more than a decade alongside a city shaped by continual construction, demolition and renewal.

Through a process of walking and observing I find moments of stillness and unfamiliarity everyday spaces. Places that might otherwise seem ordinary take on a different character, reflecting the sometimes strange experience of living in a city experiencing constant change.

Beyond documenting Shanghai's physical transformation, Concrete Reflections explores the relationship between the city and the people who inhabit it, and how the spaces we build can shape our sense of place, belonging and isolation.

Architecture becomes both a record of transformation and a psychological space, shaped by the tension between permanence and transience, connection and alienation.



凝固映像

上海,2013年至今

《凝固映像》是一项持续进行的上海摄影探索,试图捕捉这座城市在生活于其中的人们心中留下的印象。上海是我过去十五年来生活的地方。十余年来,这一系列作品也随着城市不断的建设、拆除与更新逐渐发展。

通过行走与观察,我在日常空间中寻找静止与陌生感的瞬间。那些看似平凡的场所,有时会呈现出不同寻常的面貌,映照出生活在现代大都市中那种时而奇异的感受。

《凝固映像》不仅记录上海在物质层面的变化,也探索城市与其居民之间的关系,以及我们所建造的空间如何影响人们对地方的感知、归属感与孤独感。

建筑既是城市变迁的记录,也是一种心理空间,承载着恒久与短暂、连接与疏离之间的张力。
