Holiday 2017

by Winnie Lee

Set in Zhangjiajie, a city in the northwest of China's Hunan province, is the famed Wulingyuan Scenic Area. This protected zone encompasses thousands of jagged quartzite sandstone columns which inspired Avatar (2009). However, this photo series taken during a holiday in 2017 focuses on the intense tourism in the territory and it's juxtaposition of humanity and nature.

Winnie is a Singaporean 1st year Journalism BA student with a prior background in filmmaking. She has a visual documentation and archiving fetish, which manifests in street and food photography, along with the occasional short film.
