My experience of Inner Mongolia was formed by the melting pot of cultures that surrounded me during our visit. From traditional Chinese and Mongolian architecture to contemporary and western design, the cities and countryside of Inner Mongolia seem truly special to me. The architecture was unique and unlike any other place I had  experienced. Given the flexibility and portability afforded by the photographic object, I decided to express my encounter with such intense mosaics of culture through direct juxtaposition of contrasting architecture and landscape I wanted to emphasise the different shapes and influences on my chosen architecture stills, through use of overlaid monochrome with the wild, vividly chromatic landscapes of Inner Mongolia.
