yellow skyscraper (2014) Photograph by Daniel Fontaine

This series on New York City captures the sheer scale, frenzy, and extravagance of this dizzying metropolis that never sleeps. To amplify these sensations, the artist favored the technique of multiple exposure. Furthermore, since New York is a vibrant and colorful city—both literally and figuratively—a distinctive monochrome hue was applied to each image to give it a unique radiance.

In this work, I have captured urban power through an intense yellow filter, symbolizing both energy and transformation. My goal was to reveal the often-hidden beauty of modern skyscrapers while infusing the scene with an almost dreamlike dynamism. Imagine this piece bathing your living space in vibrant light, inspiring a sense of both grandeur and boldness.
