City reflections III

Tall blue glass high rise fills the left side of the frame, its rectilinear grid of windows reflecting soft clouds and pale sky, while the right side of the image is open blue sky with faint wisps of cloud.

City reflections III. 2022.

The building becomes a vertical sheet of graph paper, every pane a small square that catches a slightly different slice of sky. From a distance it reads as a single cool surface, yet the longer you look the more you notice the patchwork, curtains and reflections and empty offices tilting the blues and greys. Framing the tower hard to the left lets that grid breathe against a simple field of open sky, city density confronted with a strip of calm. The photograph is less about a specific building than about watching order and softness share the same wall, a quiet study in how architecture mirrors the weather passing in front of it.
