Untitled 1 (Urban Abstraction)

This nocturnal city tableau compresses architecture into a mosaic of windows, where the metropolis becomes a grid of muted lights and private, unreadable lives. At the center, the red-edged transit car reads like a moving capsule of human routine—simultaneously barrier and conduit—its darkened panes reflecting the surrounding blocks as if the city is looking back at itself. The palette of deep blues and asphalt blacks, punctuated by restrained embers of orange and crimson, turns motion into a quiet pulse, suggesting that urban vitality often arrives not as spectacle but as persistence. The layered geometry—rails, frames, and repeated rectangles—creates a gentle claustrophobia that feels less oppressive than intimate, a portrait of modern existence held together by patterns and passage.
