This series of photos was taken in February of 2021 and focuses on the harsh juxtaposition of right angles so commonly seen in cities, but very rarely encountered in natural settings. The time of year — dead of winter — is one of the few moments when the natural world, in the form of scattered snow cover and drooping icicles, imposes itself on the built cityscape, creating a dreary sense of harmony between the two.
