Photographer Michael Wolf on his series 100 x 100 (100 pictures of the inhabitants of 100 square foot rooms in Shek Kip Mei Estate, “the oldest public housing complex in Hong Kong“):
If you’re standing inside a room which is exactly the same size as the room you’re looking at, then you realize how small that space actually is. And then you realize that people have been living there for 40 years. And then you realize that they are happy! That something like that can be, I think that’s the amazing thing. That people can be happy that they have 100 square feet to live in and nice neighbors. That’s basically all you need.
If you do not see this kind of life as the future for humankind, then you do not live in the real world.
