A vertically oriented gelatin silver print layers an ancient stone figure with modern architecture. The figure faces forward, hands clasped over its chest beneath a head punctuated by deep, circular recesses. To the left, a skyscraper towers, its diagonal lines cutting across the figure in a striped texture. In the lower right corner, a building sits at an angle. High contrast defines this stark intersection of ancient and contemporary structures.
