The Anatomy of Visuals

Tools: Adobe Creative Suite, Procreate, Keynote, Digital Photography

How much of a space do you need in order to tell what space it is?

Is it the time you take to look at it that allows for this understanding?

Is it the composition of the objects that makes up the understanding?

Is it the framing of the space, its proportions, angles and orientation?

Is it different when viewed together, in a sequence or as a collage?

Is it different when viewed with sounds, music, tunes?

What makes it timeless? What makes it feel like a fleeting moment?

Is it the colors that make you feel a certain way?

What makes up New York?

What makes New York New York?

What’s the most New York thing about New York?

What’s the identity of New York?

What’s New about New York?

Whats Old in New York?

Is it New York enough?

What does it say about New York?

Does it feel like New York?

Does it match the New York aesthetic?

Does it give out a New York ‘vibe’?

Is it the elements, is it the time?

Does it feel speedy or sublime?

Is it New York without the Empire State?

Is it even New York without its 1$ pizza rates?

Who are the real New Yorkers, to whom does it belong?

Is it the pigeons, or the rats, or the plastic trash, or people driving all wrong?

How do you capture its New York-ness?

How do you communicate the energy, emotions, the tension, the stress?

How long before you can tell its the city that never sleeps?

How long before an image into your mind seeps


This project reinterprets New York not as images, but a pastiche of images, emotions, environments, moods, tones, textures and sounds.


Faces of New York.

Curious cases of faces and places.

Moments of New York.

Signs, Fines, Excessively long lines and other crazy finds.
