The photos are taken in ‘Chinatowns’ of western metropolises (New York, Paris and London). Living quarters where Eastern and Western cultures meet – through migration and also through me as a viewer.

With the choice of a panoramic camera (Lomo Horizon Perfekt), which I used vertically instead of horizontally, I forced myself to an unfamiliar point of view but also resemble the traditional Chinese writing from top to bottom.
