The Coastal Geometries series captured the abstract patterns of the aquaculture activities of Fujian province in the southeast coast of China. While bamboo rods are erected for multi-purposes such as growing shellfishes, drying seaweeds and hanging fishing nets, they form unique geometries unintentionally and turn the seascape into an array of minimalist graphics.
Cheng has won major awards in photography including the National Geographic Photo Contest and Sony World Photography Awards, and was shortlisted in other international contests. He received his architectural and design education in the University of Hong Kong, Tsinghua University and the University of Cambridge.
