Stadium Fever

    Haochen He

I trace the pulse of a single match, not from the turf, but from the trembling stands. Here, football is less a sport and more a shared delirium. What begins in stillness unfurls into chaos, from moments of reverent stillness to unrestrained eruption. The grit of grain lingers across each image, like dust in floodlights, imperfect but visceral. As the bodies lean, press, and collide, the lines between spectators and participants collapse. The match plays on below, but the actual theatre is here, where steel and skin and spirit meet. This is not violence, but devotion.

I am an architectural designer specializing in sports and venue projects. I received my Bachelor of Architecture from Cornell University. Alongside this professional role, I also pursue work in fine art, photography, and writing. My architectural projects have been recognized through international awards, while my artistic and photographic works have been exhibited and published in magazines in EU and NA. In addition, my writings have appeared in magazines in China, Korea, and the United States. I continue to develop these four areas in parallel, allowing them to inform and enrich one another.
