Photographer Recreates Tourist Icons On Dining Table To Keep Travel Bug At Bay
The past two years have been no holiday for globetrotters, whose forms of escape had been taken away by the pandemic. Lovers of travel were forced to make do with what they had at home to stay engaged and mentally stimulated.
For Ric Tse, a photographer and travel enthusiast from Hong Kong, the world, for now, is just a marble. He’s coped with border restrictions by reimagining travel highlights using household objects, from wine corks to hair ties, notebooks, egg cartons, and CDs (to mimic auroras!).

Tse’s project, Tourist Spots on My Table, brings his interests in landscape photography and miniatures together. Locations he’s recreated and toured right in his dining room include Stonehenge, the Grand Canyon, Sydney Opera House, Japan’s Tateyama Snow Corridor, and Gardens by the Bay in Singapore.

The photographer told PetaPixel that the ongoing series has offered him the freedom to “travel the world with a very low budget.”
Via this project, Tse is looking to explore icons like Antelope Canyon in the American Southwest, Moai monolithic human figures on Easter Island, and more next.
