Artwork Description

This project focuses on our relationship with the places that we inhabit by using visual and acoustic language to bring a now-demolished Shikumen house back to life. Through the illustration, the audience can see the living traces that previous residents and generations left on the architecture, and they are encouraged to reflect on what might have been lost due to the large-scale regeneration and refurbishment of cities.
