A closer look at the work

From above, the city at night appears as a network of small lights and long lines of streets. In the lower part of the vertical frame, illuminated roads converge at a roundabout. Rectangular blocks repeat into the distance until their outlines disappear. Warm lighting establishes a clear framework within a space whose other details remain only partly visible.

The existing work text places this view above the outskirts of Abu Dhabi. Distance turns inhabited spaces into a legible pattern without entirely concealing their scale. A gap remains between plan and lived city: connections and boundaries are visible, while individual human journeys escape this overview.

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.
