How to Grow Old | Tencent GUYU Project
Zhou Yang–Tencent GUYU Project
Raised by her grandparents, Zhou Yang was inspired to explore the universal experience of aging and started photographing elderly people while studying for her Master’s in London. She then returned to Shanghai to document her grandmother’s battle with Alzheimer’s and her family’s experience supporting her, and then began working on the project “How to Grow Old,” which she finished last year. Her portraits depict the active lives of senior citizens in Shanghai.
