City 1

This circular relief compresses an entire settlement into a tight orbit, where stacked wooden dwellings and riveted metal roofs become a tactile map of communal density and lived resilience. The warm, scored grain of the timber reads like accumulated memory, while the punctuating blue panels interrupt the earthen harmony as flashes of modernity—signals of repair, improvisation, or hope. At the center, the arched façade and small dome offer a quiet civic or sacred anchor, holding the precarious tiers together as if architecture itself were an act of sheltering. The dark round frame functions like a lens and a boundary, suggesting both protection and enclosure—an intimate world contained, yet brimming with layered stories.
