A reflection of our tensions in an urban environment, a sideways glance into illusion.

Mirror looking over the World Trade Center construction site.

A more menacing version of the mask idea. It’s a great juxtaposition of the human face with a building structure; and it helps that the face is also artificial. The alignment of windows as eyes adds a playful element.

A glass arrangement reflects light through a window and mirror. Artificial elegance at its most transparent. A luxury indulgence of shattered illusion.

A mirror reflecting darkness. Not sure how good the execution is, but the concept is satisfying.

The window is a very powerful symbol, playing the role of both door and mirror. Even more so, it creates a veil of imagination that enriches out perception. The truth is, behind the windows in the shot above are cubicles. Rows upon rows of beige cubicles, with tired analysts staring at computers. Behind the window is the world of the mundane. One could certainly delve into that world, and photograph their tired faces–but that would be trite. Instead we focus on the possibility, on that potential seen in the window, a reflection of ourselves made fantastical.

This photograph is unaltered. A clear tension emerges from the juxtaposition of structure and natural line, highlighted by an unrelenting light.
