Dreaming Shanghai

Published 2026
​

Dreaming Shanghai observes everyday life in China’s largest city, one of the world’s most densely populated urban environments. Through street portraits, the project focuses on small gestures that shape daily life within the fast pace of the city.

​

Rather than focusing on skyscrapers or spectacle, the work looks at ordinary moments in public spaces. People search for food, scroll through their phones, rest between journeys, or drift into brief sleep after long working days. These quiet rituals reveal how people move through a city defined by speed, density, and constant activity.​​
