Description

Limited to only 25 editions · Signed · Certificate of Authenticity · Archival Print

Where memory builds the modern.

The Urban Evolution explores the dialogue between past and present — a city’s soul reflected through its architecture, its silence, and its light. Captured in elegant monochrome, the composition balances the historic Simmons Building — once alive with industry and craftsmanship — against the gleaming towers that now define the skyline. Each reflection rippling across the water blurs the line between legacy and innovation, revealing how time reshapes both place and perception. This is a meditation on continuity, progress, and the quiet beauty of change — an invitation to see the world as it can never be seen again.

Crafted to Endure

Each edition is printed on archival-grade Kodak Glossy 10 mil stock using museum-quality pigment inks, ensuring exceptional tonal depth and detail. The monochromatic palette emphasizes texture and contrast, preserving every gradient of light across glass, steel, and stone. Every piece is signed, numbered, and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, confirming provenance and collector exclusivity.

The Collector’s Promise

Only 25 prints will ever exist worldwide. Once the final edition is acquired, The Urban Evolution will be permanently retired. Each collector becomes the custodian of a rare equilibrium — a city’s journey from heritage to horizon, preserved in light and reflection.

Artist’s Note

I’ve always seen cities as living timelines — every brick and window a mark of persistence and reinvention. This scene was quiet, almost contemplative, the old and new watching each other across the water. The Urban Evolution is about that connection — how progress never truly replaces the past, but rises from it.
