2000 Ming Chairs, Zhujiajiao

In 2000, two Ming-style wooden chairs were placed against a whitewashed wall in Zhujiajiao, a historic water town near Shanghai. A small table is placed between them, and framed prints are displayed overhead, creating a balanced, symmetrical arrangement that is influenced by tradition and functional considerations.

The photograph emphasizes proportion, repetition, and negative space. Architectural beams, aged flooring, and minimalist furnishings collectively exemplify an interior that prioritizes continuity over display, with objects valued for their form, function, and durability.
