Cityscape 21 (Village Life)

This densely tessellated tableau turns the city into a living textile, where countless window-like cells pulse with the quiet insistence of everyday lives compressed into a single field. Two elevated balconies—one darkly latticed, the other pale and ribbed—become stages of community, their figures rendered as emblematic silhouettes that hold attention like a chorus suspended above the crowd. The buoyant, stippled canopies read as trees or lanterns, punctuating the pattern with circular breaths of color and suggesting moments of shelter amid saturation. In its balance of celebration and claustrophobia, the work speaks to how belonging is forged in proximity: identity repeated, varied, and ultimately interwoven.
