This piece approaches the metropolis through the lens of minimalist cartography, rendering the five boroughs as a stark, clean arrangement of form and void. By removing the traditional clutter of a working map, the artist highlights the inherent rhythm of the grid and the organic curves of the shoreline, inviting a closer look at the skeletal structure that supports millions of lives. It is a study of the city as a singular entity, where the complexity of the streets becomes a delicate pattern of light and shadow.

Beyond its function as a geographic record, the work explores how we classify and navigate our shared environment. The white-on-white aesthetic emphasizes the neighborhood districts and the evolution of the city's footprint, turning a technical navigation tool into a contemplative object. It captures the essence of the New York City skyline not through its height, but through the enduring, recognizable shape of its landmass and the density of its urban population dynamics.
