In China’s Three Gorges area, humans’ influence on nature is especially remarkable.
Our landscape is a reflection of the social background of a particular time and place. In the universe, humans are tiny, yet our power to alter and transform the environment is enormous.
People have destroyed nature, filled rivers and dug up mountains to create cities and construct buildings. Finding ourselves further from nature, we remake mountains and rivers, constructing artificial landscapes lacking spirit, culture, and heritage.
The series depicts the cultural landscape changes on both sides of the Yangtze River after completing the Three Gorges project construction.
