Master Plan
oil on canvas, 36 by 48 inches
This master plan is a semi-abstract representation of the reimagined layout of a suburban area near Shanghai. The intersections are divided into two groups: the commercial centers (marked with a red circular outline) with grocery stores, shopping centers, schools, and public gardens, and the energy recycling centers (marked with silver color). Each energy recycling center contains a water processing station for purifying water and a solar power storage and management center. All intersections collectively form an urban grid system that organizes the initially irregular farmlands.
