The 230 foot high minaret is the highest structure in Morocco's third largest city. Built in the 12th Century, this minaret served as the model for the famous Giralda in Seville. I abstract the tower in two ways: by cropping the top and bottom to only show part of it, and by layering a tree over the tower, which not only abstracts it, but also adds a symbol of life and vitality to an otherwise inert subject. Half the visible tower is in shadow as well, which adds a three-dimensional illusion to the image.
