Michelle Tu, When nature collides with urban life (Junior 2019)

I was born and raised in the city, everywhere I turn lies skyscrapers and bustling traffic. The sounds of cars honking and construction are all sounds that I have gotten used to. There are times where I crave quietness and serenity; my repetitious life in the city has made me crave nature.... My passion and love for photography has led me to mother nature and her wonders. My camera has become a bridge for which I can have a balance between my urban life and the tranquility of nature. The cyan tones contrasted with the bright orange represents both the calm and energetic aspects of each destination.
