Following the development of urbanization, people living in dazzling modern architecture and skyscrapers take natural resources such as water, wood and electricity. Despite living in the city, individuals surround themselves with simulative images of plants and water in order to create an environment which reminds them of nature. As a contemporary artist, I want to invite the audience to reflect upon how humans are a threat for the ecosystem and should therefore value every element given from Earth.

I experiment with original analog photography techniques, for instance I use natural elements such ice, glass, sand and salt in the printing process in order to powerfully covey my artistic and personal perception of current world.

Sine Zheng is a photographer based in London. She completed a master’s degree in photography at the Royal College of Arts. Her works explore the connection between people, nature, urban life and space, which generates an undefined dimension between reality and illusion, and explores whether they can exist independently. Her photographs give no straight answer to her audience, which is instead prompted to have its own interpretation.
