High road, soft sky

High road, soft sky. 2020.

A single lamp and a slice of road are lifted out of their usual rush and dropped into quiet air. The Y shaped pole reads almost like a bare winter tree, its thin arms holding a patch of pale cloud while the overpass cuts a calm diagonal through the frame. Below, dry grasses cling to the slope and two birds slip through the open space, small marks of life against the concrete. It is an image of infrastructure paused between uses, a moment where a place built purely for transit becomes a simple arrangement of line, weight and sky.
