I like how he hangs the immigrant workers upside down to indicate the uncertainty of thier lives and thier powerlessness in changing thier own fates.

I tried to recreate the hanging body effect. In these photos I have covered the face in a black jumper to insinuate the lack of ackknowledgement immigrant workers get. Hanging the bodys form rope reflects the lack of control we all have in our current society . According to Zhang Dali these people represent the immigrant workers in rural areas of china. To cast them in resin is a way to recognize thier existence and contribution to the chinese society.
