SPIRIT OF PLACE

This imagery is based on the dual meaning of the serenity of a location, and the religious nature of historic Chinese symbolism found at holy sites. Iconic relics and architectural venues from around China show the spiritual depth of an ancient cultural transition. These photos present silent efforts made in the quest for inner-peace, within the context of social traditions.

The exact geographic location of where each photograph in this exhibit collection was taken around Dalian is marked on this interactive map. Please Note: many of the older and more historic areas of Dalian have undergone drastic renovation over the years. Therefore, original landmarks may not currently remain, but the original photographic location is indicated accurately.
