Chinese Scholar Rocks also known as Spirit Stones are microcosms of landscapes and meditative focal points between nature and civilisations. Here, made with financial newspaper for contemplation about a world formed by accelerating datascapes.

Garden of Perfect Brightness is an English translation of Yuanming garden otherwise known amongst other names as the Old Summer Palace in Beijing that was the Emperor’s residence. The British and French looted it during the 2nd Opium war with 4000 troops and 3 days to burn down a site covering 860 acres (3.5sq km) slightly larger than NYC’s Central Park.
