Trained in architecture, Justin explores how places and histories are remembered, constructed, and reimagined. Moving between fieldwork and reconstruction, his practice spans photography, film, installation, and publishing.

He is completing his first film, Model City (2026), set inside an architectural model factory in Shenzhen where worlds are constructed and imagined.
