Cityscape 17 (Urban Rhythm)

This work constructs a city from insistently repeated glyphs—tiny architectural fragments that accumulate into a vibrating tapestry—until the eye discovers, almost by accident, the human presence held within it. Bands of figures hover at different heights like social strata, their simplified faces and bright garments acting as islands of intimacy against the relentless, coded density of the built environment. The warm, earthen field is punctured by electric blues and primary notes, suggesting life and resilience flickering through congestion, while the patterned canopies read as trees, umbrellas, or thought-balloons—brief, organic relief in a system that wants to become pure structure. The composition ultimately stages a quiet allegory of belonging: community as a fragile net and mosaic, suspended over the maze it has itself created.
