The background image was taken somewhere in the Baixinzhuang village. Some of the other photos I also took in the village while others I just took them from the Internet. I wanted to focus my culture clash on a variety of things. From shops to celebrities, I didn’t focus on one specific thing. I added some Chinese people and contrasted them with some celebrities. Snooki and Zac Efron are all good contrasts to the normal Chinese men. I also added a Chinese boy holding an Ipad. Ipads are part of western culture. I also added a McDonald’s sign, KFC bucket, and a forever 21 banner. These are some of the things that are part of my life that you can’t find in the village. To fill up the space on the bottom left corner, I added a sports car. This sports car fits nicely in the corner and is a good example of western culture as its highly unlikely that you’ll find a sports car in the middle of the village. Overall, I think that my culture clash image is a good example of two cultures clashing together.
