“Closing In”

This project is a reflection of my personal experiences living in an urbanized space. Using photomontage and compositing I created hyperbolized scenes that illustrate the chaotic nature of the city. The use of central and contrasting shapes and imagery (or lack thereof) alludes to the urban space consuming a part of my life that existed before living in the city.
