The Produce Market Around the Corner

// MAR 2023
CONCEPTUAL
For me, there is nothing more evident of contemporary urban China’s new-build gentrification than the food stalls leaving the markets in my grandmother’s district in Beijing. Each disappearance foreshadows the following lower income displacement in adjacent residential communities. The local road-side produce and wet markets hold a special place in my family’s hearts, and each disappearing stall creates a void that can never be filled.
