Suzhou Frame

A trip through the gardens of Suzhou is well worth the short trip from Hangzhou in Zhejiang province. The classical frame with bamboo behind is quintessentially Chinese and the mixture of the natural and man-made frames was a clear photo opportunity.

Suzhou Frame:


Our attitude to shapes that tell us what type of person we are. And what is imminent and has to be done.
This is a chinese way of a telling. The square is countered by design of the jigsaw fermenting the routine 
of inspection. The bamboo is in a land of mist and mysticism. The vertical lines of which are a tangle of division.
