Street Photography nominee

This series was taken in a small district in Hong Kong which undergoing an urban-renewal project. The images juxtapose the activities happening in street by composing the street lamp at the centre of the frame. The contrast of the content from both sides not only represents the street's dynamics, but also the community's anxious emotion facing an unknown change--not knowing where to settle, not knowing in what ways. Still, the ambiguity behind the blockage invites continuous curiosity about our life.
