Jess Zhang, Layers of Time (URBAN 2026)

An old temple rests by a quiet lake, sheltered by trees that have grown around it over time. Just beyond, dense apartment towers rise in unbroken rows, forming a vertical city that presses toward the sky. Behind it all, green mountains stand serene and timeless. The scene captures Hong Kong as a meeting of worlds - ancient, urban, and natural, held together in a single breath.
