O Zhang is a female Chinese Photogapher based out of New York. She is most famously known for taking photos depicting Chinese Youth and making short films and installations. The following three photos are from her exhibition titled The World is Yours. It was her first American solo exhibition and it basically showed Chinese youth wearing t-shirts with English text depicting her message of Chinglish.
These pictures I feel are very powerful because it shows how western culture has a very strong influence on other countries, especially China. It shows the crisis that youth are facing today with trying to find their identity within themselves. I also enjoy how the images are raw and show now alterations to the children shown on the pictures. The children are just regular kids. This almost relates to me on how western culture has greatly influenced myself. I feel like I should be on one of the images!
