Passage of Water, Passage of Time

The century-old reservoir has fulfilled its historic mission, having coexisted with time and made decades of contributions to the community. The intrusion and unexpected demolition disrupted the harmony, leaving behind broken pieces all over. What happened to the reservoir prompted me to draw associations with a once prosperous city.

I employed both documentary and montage photography to record and to express my emotions. The ruins at the opening reveal the sad reality, followed by the abstract montages with memories of past glories. Although the ladder represents a potential escape, the pervasive red frames impose constraints.
