THE STORY BEHIND THE IMAGE:
Chicago’s downtown was the original inspiration for the New City collection, a playful reimagining of urban architecture, verticality, and density. “City by the Lake” started as a reference photo of the Murdoch Building situated on the Chicago river. The realistic photo was digitally distorted and recolored because Chicago architecture makes me feel giddy and irreverent.
