I had just finished class when I received a text from @anonygrapher.

"Lujiazui?"

It was a school night, but our time studying abroad was running out. I emptied the books in my bag and packed my camera gear.

"Meet you there in 1 hour", I responded, knowing we had a tough mission ahead of us - one which we had attempted twice already.

The location in mind was in 陆家嘴 (Lujiazui), Shanghai's financial district - known for its futuristic skyscrapers with unique architecture as far as the eye could see.

On that night, our timing, teamwork, and perseverance prevailed, giving us the chance to push the creative boundaries of what's possible as we were rewarded with a canvas of the city lights to create our art.
