Echelons explores the nitty gritty of the street, from the young kit looking up in admiration, to the roaring tiger who has risen above all. The angles and curves of the many levels of city stratum, the glitter of false opulence, always judged according to one's perceived caliber; all of these resonate here with a mixture of art and architecture. The city is often a maze through which many must navigate just to survive, let alone rise to a better station in society. But take heart, because that dominating tiger was once a naive kit looking for a way to move up.
