The Tibetan Nomads project is a collaboration between Chinese fashion designer Ma Ke (who created all the outfits) and Zhou Mi. All images were photographed in China's Sichuan Province in December 2007. Mi says "As a part of the core concept, we tried to avoid showing the typical Tibetan environment, cultural and religious symbols, and just focused on anonymous landscape and people." The 'Earth' exhibition opens May 17th and will run until June 15th at the Kamera 8 gallery at 5 Rowe Street Lr, Wexford. Photographs: Zhou Mi

Speaking about the project presented in the exhibition, 'Earth', Zhou Mi said: 'What attracted me was the simplicity and basic idea in human history, when people still treated nature with awe and fear. They lived the simple and primitive life, with their very basic understanding of their environment. The simplicity originated from life itself has a powerful force, in a world where people have been desensitised by daily violence and astounding greed. The relationship between man and nature has been dominated by exploitation and revenge. In a time like this, I would like to return to the Earth, which has given birth to our bodies and souls, to worship the serenity and harmony of the land, and to rediscover the innocence and beauty of humanity.'
