Vertical Echoes (2025)

Vertical Echoes reframes a city skyline into a disorienting architectural mirage. The mirrored towers, repeated across horizontal and vertical axes, rise and fall against a backdrop of stormy clouds and distant mountains—creating a visual rhythm that feels more dreamscape than documentary. The symmetry is precise but unsettling, offering a fragmented reflection of urban expansion.

The repeated high-rises suggest both dominance and instability: monolithic forms floating above and below the horizon. By visually severing these buildings from gravity and grounding, the image questions the permanence and authority of urban development. It also reflects on the psychological weight of vertical living and surveillance in modern cities.

Part of the Futurism series, this work manipulates architectural photography to explore illusion, power, and repetition in built environments. In Vertical Echoes, the skyline becomes a looping construct—more echo than place—where viewers are left to wonder what’s real, what’s reversed, and what’s imposed.
