About the Work
"I
find
this
photograph
equally
disorientating
and
mesmerising.
The
play
of
sunlight
on
this
building’s
glass
veneer
creates
a
warped
reflection
of
the
cityscape
and
distance
horizon
behind
the
photographer.
It
is
simultaneously
opaque
and
transparent;
protective
yet
exposing;
comfortable
and
alienating."
