John Clang - The Myth of the Flat Earth (2013)
Artist’s statement:
“A meditation on today’s nerve-wracked urban humanity, this photo series depicts the desperate need to stay afloat — at all costs.
A sense of paranoia pervades; even as the human figures tread on invisible waters in a pool three feet deep, constantly struggling to stay afloat, head above waters.
Like them, we also strive ceaselessly to meet the high-water mark of society’s expectations.”
