Yang Yi
This amazing and breathtaking photoseries by Chinese artist Yang Yi, was taken as a personal memoir of his hometown before it is completely gone. Yang Ti has been personally affected by the Three Gorges Dam project along the Yangtze River, which has claimed many Chinese cities, farmland and historical sites.
