it's been quite a while since i last felt like this.
that excitement, the absence of plans — letting go. the feeling of being a traveler instead of just a tourist.

the idea of understanding china feels daunting, almost impossible. one could spend years exploring, trying to grasp what this country truly is, and still fail to comprehend its cultural depth.

my attempts to do so through the lens are below. as expected, they’re not enough — but i can assure you i loved every second spent observing this society and its landscapes through my camera.

can’t wait to go back.

these images were taken across china in september '25, using different cameras, lenses, and techniques—both digital and film.
