Project Description: "Ephemeral Eternity" is a series of images created by architectural photographer YANG Tianzhou, aimed at exploring the fluid boundaries of architecture. This diverse collection includes renowned masterpieces, ordinary residences, and abandoned structures that often go unnoticed. The photographer captures moments where these varied buildings intersect with the symbolic horizon of eternity, illustrating how the convergence of time, space, and memory at specific moments transforms human-made structures into architecture. This series reveals the dynamic and blurred boundaries of architecture, encouraging viewers to contemplate its true essence.
