City Reflections 1

Before the rain. 2021.

This frame is about how strict order always contains small acts of disobedience. The building presents itself as a clean grid of blue glass and pale structure, every line stacked and aligned, yet here and there a balcony recesses a little deeper or a window panel sits ajar, creating tiny disruptions in the rhythm. By filling the frame with the facade and stripping away street context, the tower becomes more like a drawing than a building, an exercise in repetition where the few irregular shapes feel almost human. The cool colour palette keeps everything calm and distant, while those slight deviations suggest the lives and decisions happening just out of sight behind the glass.
