"The Hazy Axis" is a three-year project, photographed along Beijing's landmark north-south city axis, that portrays the norm of people's life and their spiritual status affected by serious air pollution. The central axis, often referred to as the "dragon vein", was believed to be the royal spine upon which the Forbidden City and the capital city should be built and planned, which would bring prosperity for the imperial dynasties, according to Chinese ancient fortune telling "Fengshui." Scenes on polluted days along the landmark geologic line in this ancient metropolitan city bear metaphorical meanings and historic senses for human society when we face various problems caused by pollution.
