Born in Barcelona in 1978. I was a graphic designer until discovered photography a few years ago, actually working on AD photography and photojournalism. I like a lot some of my pictures and want to share those little stories with the rest of the world.
"The Sleeping Giant"
200 years ago, Napoleon was asked what he thought of China. The French emperor responded: "China is a sleeping giant. Let her sleep, for when she wakes she will shake the world.
"China's workforce is estimated at 760 million workers. This country turns out half a million engineers each year, who will work for 10% of what a professional would charge in the United States or Europe.
The intention of this photographic display is to rise "The bamboo curtain" and catch a glimpse of this society - to observe it and think of China as a superpower on the verge of awakening. The inhabitants of the country with the world's largest population share a collective consciousness of the power of masses, rather than individualistic arrogance and pride.
It may be that China has already awakened discretely and we still see her as a Sleeping Giant.
