Yes,I saw a few customers as well as people passing thought,but I just noticed the emptiness of the once buzzing shopping complex some ten years ago.I was wondering why...
Before I got lost in the commercial discourse of this shopping complex,first thing first.I was here to capture the mood of the place.The open space at the centre with three quarters full of tables and chairs.Sadly,not even 10% were taken up on the last Saturday afternoon of the month.What made matters worst, about ten chairs were standing on the tables tell customers not to sit around those table.Something is amiss..
As I walked from the supermarket to McD restaurant,I got the eerie feeling that I was walking in a cowboy town.Anyone could comes out from any alleys and shoot at me!I scanned the tables with customers but did not notice any suspicious characters.Arriving on the other side,I looked back and shot the above photo.No one cared..
The space frames supporting the roofs have nice patterns.They are structurally demonstrative space frames.These features attracted my attention due to my professional background as an engineer.One dimension the photo could not capture is the sound.Despite all the artistic objects on the roofs and on the floor,I still see and feel the emptiness of the place.
