My visit to China was a life-changing and inspiring experience. I was impressed by the strength of the people I met, their hard lives and China’s long history of warfare. I walked on the Great Wall and wanted to share its breathtaking beauty and ancient power, which are still so evident today. I emphasized the red lanterns by using Photoshop, leaving them the only objects epicted in colour. This enhanced their repetition and the contrast between the solidity of the Wall and their bright buoyancy.
