In this portrait-oriented work, Goggin explores the density of the metropolitan landscape through a sophisticated use of collage. The interaction between the deep magenta and the sharp yellow creates a high-contrast tension that mimics the flickering light and shadow found between city buildings. By stacking shapes and colors, the artist translates the physical experience of walking through a crowded street into a flattened, graphic language.

The verticality of the piece emphasizes the upward growth of urban architecture, while the overlapping elements suggest a history of surfaces—posters, paint, and steel worn down and built back up. There is a deliberate weight to the composition that feels both architectural and organic, inviting the viewer to look past the initial burst of color to find the intricate intersections where different textures meet.
