This graphite drawing presents a cityscape seen across a river. The motif of a city reflected in water has long captivated artists, evoking themes of mirroring and duality. Think of Narcissus gazing at his reflection, or the mythical city of Atlantis submerged beneath the waves. These ancient narratives remind us that water serves as both a barrier and a connector. Here, the river divides the viewer from the city, yet it also reflects and unifies the scene, subtly echoing the cycle of creation and destruction. This reflection is about memory, of seeing the past shape the present, resonating through the collective unconscious. The blurred skyline evokes a sense of longing, inviting viewers to contemplate the ephemeral nature of human endeavors and our constant search for permanence. The city becomes a symbol of both aspiration and fragility.
