A closer look at the work

A large pink circle overlaps dark tower silhouettes. A white point glows at its centre beside a slender rising building. Another dark facade closes the right edge. Turquoise sky and nearly black architecture give the flare an unusually tangible presence.

Light takes priority over architecture. Buildings provide a scale, but the circle dominates. The title's cosmic observer remains a metaphor: what the image visibly presents is a photographic light effect altering how familiar urban outlines are read.

Personal consultation

The work, the space, the presentation.

What interests you about this work? I take time for your questions, its origins and its place in a collection. Together, we explore differences between works and their relationship with space, light and architecture.

Size, selected materials and bespoke framing are carefully coordinated. The precise presentation develops through our conversation.

A photograph of the intended space can help us consider scale and placement.
