23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Time-Space Spiral
From a drone's perspective, the Shanghai Grand Opera Housebecomes a vortex where curves and staircases converge.In black and white, I strip away reality, leaving only structure, light, shadow,and traces of time.Each step is a frame skipped by the hour hand.It is no longer a building under construction,but a bridge linking eternity and the moment.At this instant, we are not looking down at a structure—we are looking down at time itself.
