In this piece, Dauer utilizes a strict black and white palette to emphasize the graphic weight of architectural forms. By removing color, the focus shifts entirely to the geometry of the structures, where sharp angles and repetitive patterns create a sense of monumental scale within a confined frame. The high contrast highlights the texture of the materials and the way light carves out space between steel and stone.

The squared orientation anchors the composition, forcing a balanced perspective on what might otherwise feel like an overwhelming vertical ascent. It is an exercise in abstraction that treats the city not as a bustling hub, but as a series of intersecting planes and tonal gradients. The result is a grounded study of form that invites the viewer to appreciate the fundamental shapes that define our modern surroundings.
