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. “Determination” started as a realistic photo of buildings visible from the south window of 2515 Clark Street, seventh floor. The photo was intentionally distorted and recolored using several digital applications, employed randomly until I arrived at a result that expressed the feeling I had in mind.
