“Wheels of Beijing: Everyday Lives in Motion”

This small series offers a glimpse into the vibrant world of two- and three-wheeled transport in Beijing — capturing the everyday characters, jobs, and routines that shape life on the city’s streets. From delivery riders weaving through narrow alleys to street vendors balancing goods on improvised carriers, these images reflect a dynamic rhythm of resilience, ingenuity, and motion. As the starting point for a broader project, this work sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the people and stories behind these vehicles — lifelines for many navigating Beijing’s fast-moving urban sprawl. Each scene offers a brief but telling portrait of how the city moves, one wheel at a time.
