Flat Globe: Above NY
2006

An open book displaying two contrasting cityscape photographs with a distorted, wavy reflection effect running across the center where the pages meet. The left side shows a vintage black and white photo of an urban skyline, while the right side features a modern, color aerial view of a city with a large park and a lake, possibly Central Park in New York City. The reflective effect creates an abstract, metallic visual interruption between the two images.
