The Yangtze River, which forms the premise to this body of work, is the main artery that flows 4100 miles (6500km) across China, travelling from its furthest westerly point in Qinghai Province to Shanghai in the east. The river is embedded in the consciousness of the Chinese, even those who live thousands of miles from the river.
Using the river as a metaphor for constant change, I have photographed the landscape and people along its banks from mouth to source. After several trips to different parts of the river, it became clear that what I personally was responding to and how I felt whilst being in China was permeating my pictures; a formalness and unease, a country that feels both at the beginning of a new era and at odds with itself. I felt a complete outsider and explained this pictorially by ‘stepping back' and showing humans as small in their surroundings.
Common man has little say in China's progression and this smallness of the individual is alluded to in the work.
Although it was never my intention to make documentary pictures, the sociological context of this project is very important and ever present. The displacement of 3 million people in a 600km stretch of the River and the effect on humans when a country moves towards the future at pace are themes that will inevitably be present within the work.
A Chinese friend I made whilst working on the project reiterated what many Chinese people feel: ‘Why do we have to destroy to develop?' He explained that in Britain many of us can revisit where we were brought up and it will be much the same, it will remind us of our families and upbringing. In China that is virtually impossible, the scale of development has left most places unrecognisable. ‘Nothing is the same. We can't revisit where we came from because it no longer exists'.
China is progressing rapidly, and to this end I feel there is a mirroring of the bad habits of the West. The landscape both economically and physically is changing daily. These are photographs that can never be taken again.
