Wind of Presence
This photography project was created during my travels to the heart of China in Chengdu, Sichuan. The series captures the essence of rural Chengdu, focusing on the bustling flower markets and century-old tea houses. These locations serve as the backdrop for a vivid portrayal of daily life, where people labour tirelessly in an orderly and composed manner.
The images convey the sense of history and continuity that permeates these spaces. The wind whispers through the timeless flowers and greenery, while ancient architecture stands witness to the unceasing flow of new life that moves among them. The interplay of old buildings and vibrant plant life reflects the harmonious blend of tradition and modernity. This project aims to capture the intersection of the old and the new, the enduring spirit of a community, and the vibrant life that breathes through these cherished places.
