Five Stories: Allegorical City Landscape

Influenced by the building on the cover of Physical Graffiti, this work depicts two East Village tenements. Precise architectural detail anchors the composition, while translucent washes and floating dots disrupt realism. Fire escapes and windows form a repeating grid, suggesting the rhythms of daily life and the presence of unseen inhabitants. By merging structure with abstraction, the piece transforms a familiar streetscape into a meditation on urban history, resilience, and the layered narratives embedded within the city’s walls.
