Yangtze River Waterways:
An Interdisciplinary Artistic Research (ongoing)

“The Yangtze River Delta holds a historical reflection on waterborne trade routes via the Yangtze River, which shifted with changing sovereignties in ancient times. This history is representative in the context of modern regional development. While Shanghai may be viewed as a new land, its history cannot be isolated from the study of the ancient Gangshen seashore line, Lake Tai Plain, and the Yangtze River Delta, which all played pivotal roles in its geological, topographical, and cultural development.”
