Urban Layers

Urban Layers explores the visual density of the city through overlapping architectural surfaces. Mesh canopies, reflective glass, stone facades and ornate window frames come together in a tightly composed black and white image. The photograph focuses on contrast and accumulation: old against new, curved forms against straight lines, bright textures against deep shadow. Rather than isolating one building, it captures the city as a layered architectural field, where every surface adds rhythm, depth and tension.
