Along the hillside

Between earth and sky, the mountain tells two stories: one of everyday labor, the other of the traveler's eye.

Taken in the rice terraces of southern China, this photograph explores the relationship between the agricultural landscape and the growth of tourism. The cable car cabins suspended overhead become a symbol of changing times, while the figure walking away continues along their path. The image reflects the distance between those who merely pass through a place and those who live it every day.
