Crowds and traffic fill a city square at night beneath bright billboards, tall buildings, and flags.

Beneath Electric Daylight

MG-1200

August 2024

About this piece

An elevated nighttime view gathers dense crowds, traffic, and illuminated billboards between tall buildings. Saturated blue, yellow, red, and pink light frames a deep central corridor, while a stone memorial anchors the foreground. The composition balances the restless activity below with the dark, largely unlit towers above.

The story

On this August night, the screens offer a second kind of daylight. Their blue and pink glow washes over faces in the crowd, while headlights thread a narrow passage through the gathering. Flags hang above the square, caught between towering advertisements and dark windows. In the foreground, the stone memorial holds its quiet place as people flow around it. Looking upward, the eye finally reaches a darkness the signs do not fill.
