WIRES is a photography project by Chia Ming Chien exploring human behaviour on three levels: phenomenological, socio-psychological, and artistic. The artistic metaphor used and 'human footprint' examined are represented by the 'chaotic mess of wires' synonymous with the cityscape in several Asian cities.

Criticised by residents and tourists as evidence of under-development, the wires are seen to despoil the city. With a different set of eyes, this photographic series shows a graphic beauty, raising questions about how the eye/mind perceives environment in which we live.
