As a visual artist using photography as medium to challenge our appreciation of cities, I could not resist the possibility of documenting my perspective of the Asian Metropolis nowadays.

In the peripheries of Bejing, Busan, Tokyo, Hiroshima, Hong kong, Seoul or Chongqing  I discovered the multiple relations of the growing mega city and its surroundings .  Somehow, I witnessed the confrontation between nature and the imposing satellite towns.

In these contrasted landscapes I pretended to unveil the beauty that unfolds in the city limits of Asia’s new towns.
