What Manhattan would look like if it was built in the Grand Canyon

In the end of 2012 I travelled to USA to experience something new. And it was something I didn’t expect: emptiness and density.

‘Merge’ is the last part of a project series ‘Empty, Dense, Merge’ which explores two opposite feelings through the photos of places located in USA.

In this project two opposite places are merged into one: New York City, where, it seems like, everyone wants to live there, and Grand Canyon / Death Valley, which are unlivable.
