In this portrait-oriented study, May strips the modern city of its frantic pace, focusing instead on the stark, rhythmic patterns of a European high-rise. The choice of black and white photography emphasizes the interplay between light and shadow across the building's facade, turning a functional structure into a series of repeating shapes and deep tonal gradients.

The composition leans into a vintage aesthetic, evoking the mid-century fascination with verticality and the promise of the metropolitan skyline. By framing the architecture from a grounded perspective, the image captures the imposing scale of urban art, where the skyscraper becomes a monumental sculpture set against the open sky.
