'Hong Kong Modern Mosaics' explores the dizzying verticality of the city through a hyper-focused lens. By isolating tight frames of contemporary facades, this series transforms colossal skyscrapers into intricate geometric tapestries. Stripped of street-level context, the relentless repetition of windows, mullions, and structural grids reveals a hidden rhythm within the urban density. These images celebrate the mesmerising symmetry and abstract patterns born from extreme architectural efficiency, turning glass and steel monoliths into striking, flattened mosaics of modern life.
