Shanghai sits on the sea at the mouth of the Yangtze. Its land space is limited, and its eight million people make the population density of Shanghai one of the highest in the world. Its skyscrapers reach towards the heavens, as does this monument in the People's Park. In this image, I photograph two structures – the monument and the skyscraper, and give them both meaning by rooting my image on the body language of the three exercisers in the foreground. The people’s legs and arms echo the shape of the lower part of the monument, while the upper thrust of the monument repeats the upward path of the skyscraper. The flow of motion begins at the lower left hand corner with the angle of the woman’s foot, and ends in the upper right hand corner, with the point of the skyscraper reaching into the hazy Shanghai sky.
