Black and white: the twisted lattice of the Canton Tower and its mast rise beside the stacked, jutting balconies of a residential building.

Canton Tower

Guangzhou, China. 2026

I lined the Canton Tower up next to an apartment block so the two patterns sit side by side: the tower’s twisted steel lattice and the stacked boxes of the balconies.

The tower is 600 metres tall, and from most of Guangzhou it is on the skyline somewhere. This was the only frame where something else held its own next to it.
