"The quality of the images was greater than I could have ever hoped for. I am proud to call myself a collector of his work."
Matthew D. ·
Xiapu County on China's Fujian coast is one of the most extraordinary tidal landscapes in Asia - a vast network of mudflats, bamboo fishing poles, and kelp farms that reveal themselves only at low tide. From altitude, the human presence in this landscape reads as pure geometry: nets laid out in careful order, a single figure absorbed in the unhurried work of repair.
The muted palette - grey mud, diffused coastal light, the dark geometry of the nets - gives this image the quality of an ink wash painting. It sits with unusual stillness in a study, bedroom, or any space where you want something to slow the room down rather than demand attention.
