Anthropos in the Grid observes a moment of human stillness within the machinery of urban expansion. Created in Zhengzhou, the work portrays a man meditating during his lunch break, made almost invisible by the scale of the unfinished skyscrapers rising behind him. It reflects on the tension between individual presence and the systems that shape the contemporary city, suggesting both quiet resistance and a sense of displacement. A discreet portrait of routine, isolation, and persistence within a space governed by speed and construction.
Exhibited at Yutong Space for Contemporary Practice (2017), China
