To create the Return to Hometown series, Lahem spent around two months in 2015 hiking more than 1,000 kilometers from Shanghai to his birthplace. On the journey, he placed one photo from his past creations every other kilometer to mount an exhibition spanning 1,000 kilometers.

"This act of physically traveling between his urban life and his rural origins represents a bridge or spiritual path, connecting his present life with his past," the curator commented.
