I’ve layered this image in vestiges of urban life. The lean of a safety pylon draws the eye to the pair of pedestrians crossing paths before a shuttered shop. The pair of painted street markings in the foreground echo the pace of the people passing each other just above them. The geometric shadow on the corrugated shutter embraces the pedestrians as well. They see neither the festive primary colors that hang above them, nor each other. The image expresses the pervasive sense of anonymity that characterizes this vast city.
