Time Capsule: Allegories of Shanghai
Photography and video work installation
June-July 2015
From the items found in our homes, to the tools we use at work, we surround ourselves with objects necessary for our existence in todays world.As part of a wider global project, I travelled to Shanghai, one of China's most diverse cities, in an attempt to explore an idea that we can make sense of someones life, by viewing the objects they touch throughout a day.

The design and ground rules for Every Thing We Touch were simple. I approached people and asked them to keep a record of all the objects they touched on a day of their choice. Permanent objects such as handles, taps and light switches were excluded, as were large items like...
