The image is taken during the making of the project "I am just a scenic spot".

This is a project about copied architecture in China and explores the manipulative nature of documentary photography. What do we truly see? The photograph as copy or evidence of reality and the copy as a reflection of reality. I started to love and appreciate the copy, beautiful and powerful in its uniqueness and ability to confuse.
