Skyline divide

View from below of a concrete spiral carpark. Curved ramps sweep across the frame while a single white pipe runs straight up the centre. Warm light grazes the concrete and a strip of blue sky with clouds is visible at the bottom.

Skyline divide. 2022.

The road arrow pulls you one way, while the skyline stands still on the other side of that blunt orange wall. The towers are polished and reflective, but they are also distant, almost sealed off behind a strip of concrete meant to keep us in our lane. I was interested in that small moment on the edge of a motorway where design becomes graphic, nearly abstract, yet still carries all the quiet rules that shape how we move through a city.
