This project investigates how public space in China’s metro has been gradually reshaped by commercial advertising over time.

The project disrupts the communicative function of media through pixelation, color separation, signal interference, and extreme digital processing. Contemporary advertisements are reworked into degraded and fragmented "poor images." These interventions deliberately break the smooth, clear, and persuasive flow of commercial media, exposing its inherent noise, instability, and excess.

This process creates a state of disorientation. It reflects the real experience of visual saturation, where information is omnipresent but increasingly difficult to fully process or grasp. By highlighting distortion and decay, the work rejects the assumption that images must be clear, utilitarian, or persuasive, treating advertising as a material system capable of failure.
