The documentation of this expedition stemmed from a growing interest in drawing large dense megalopolises. The similarities and differences in density, city fabric, and iconic monuments was one of the main motivations as I explored a series of large city centers in the Asia-Pacific region. The destinations vary in culture, daily pace, and style but they also overlap in many areas such as density and city planning.
Through an amalgamation of traditional photography and on-site hand sketching, I was interested not only in what I saw before me physically, but also the experience as I walked through each city center. The final result is a combination of photograph/drawing collage, and city perspectives in the form of a graphic narrative. The narrative enables me to re-count and represents my personal experiences and thoughts during my travel.
