China², Mark Murray (Signed)

"During my 10 years living and photographing in the North East of China, I shot 6x6 medium format from 2017-2020. With such a dense population, I wanted to isolate subjects and remove from the everyday chaos of the streets. The 'People Mountain, People Sea' can engulf the individual and strip them of their identity, leaving them swallowed up in a mass that moves on its own accord, like a floating stick on a tides ebb crashing against the rocks.

China² is a project intended to shed light on the everyday individuals that are so often lost in the crowd. By placing them in a box, we can focus on the faces and get a glimpse of the world that is as important to them, as our world is to us. China² is my celebration of the people unknown."
