About the project

Common scenes in fleeting time in an urban landscape have been captured, and then transferred and reformulated. The truth and falsehood, and the substance and illusion, of an object are expressed through apparent appreciation and indulgence.

Through this work, Danny Lee has pondered the necessary balance in urban development, reflecting on urban construction and destruction.
