This series of works also urge you to observe and witness the complex layers of structural building being build around us. We admire the high rise architecture as they provide iconic symbol of modernization to the cityscapes. We usually look through the glass from inside without realizing such continuity of high rise skyscrapers has created disorder and dense settlement. With “reflection within” we would see the chaotic impact of urbanization’s aftermath.

For the photographs, the strength comes from the subject that is being documented and repeated. For the viewer, the strength comes from the repeated images that are being group together as if they are shouting together attracting ambiguous attention. The relation between each images allowing us to explore the representation of time, memory of space and pausing the moment as if they are neighbors exchanging dialogue to each other. How a landmark see are now very much different when the surrounding is being developed or demolished. How the surrounding reflects now is very much different because of such landmark. It is like being the observer and to be observed.
