Artist’s Statement:

At first glance, the image presents a recognizable skyline—grounded, architectural, real. But that certainty quickly slips. The city is doubled, not as a reflection in water, but as a deliberate construction of symmetry that removes gravity from the equation. Buildings no longer rise; they extend equally in both directions, forming a continuous axis that feels both stable and impossible.

This mirroring transforms the city into something more conceptual than physical. It becomes a study of balance—between reality and perception, structure and illusion, presence and echo. The warm light of sunset intensifies this duality, casting the city in a fleeting glow–what appears solid becomes transient; what felt grounded begins to float.

In this space, the skyline is no longer a destination but a threshold. The eye searches for orientation but finds none, and in that disorientation, a deeper awareness emerges. The work invites viewers to consider how easily the mind accepts constructed realities—and how truth often exists in that fragile space between what is seen and what is understood.

Summary:

A city reimagined as a perfect balance of form and illusion, where reflection becomes its own reality.
