City, Elegy

This piece reinterprets City by Stanton Macdonald-Wright through the haunting restraint of Edward Gorey’s pen-and-ink style. Rhythmic architectural forms soften into shadow and silence, transforming synchromatic energy into a subdued, elegiac metropolis. The city feels poised between presence and absence—precise, quiet, and heavy with implied narratives—where modern abstraction gives way to an atmosphere of quiet unease.
