After hours at the park

Empty skatepark at night beside a bay, lit by red accent lights and bright spotlights on a steel sculpture with distant city lights on the horizon.

After hours at the park. 2020.

I was interested in how the park changes once the skaters go home and the lights are left to perform by themselves. The red wash over the ramps feels almost theatrical, spilling across the concrete like a stage light, while the steel arch throws out hard white starbursts toward the water. With no people around, the shapes of the park become the main characters, all sharp planes and quiet lines, with the soft line of the bay and distant city lights as a backdrop. It turns a space built for noise and movement into something calm and slightly surreal, like a set waiting for the next scene to begin.
