Chicago Crosswalk — Overhead Study
Chicago, Illinois
This black and white photograph presents an overhead view of a Chicago intersection reduced to line, shape, and contrast.
From above, crosswalk stripes, lane markings, and asphalt become a graphic composition. The vertical band of white stripes divides the frame, while the dark pavement compresses the surrounding space into negative mass.
Two figures enter the geometry — one positioned within the ordered lines, the other stepping just beyond it. Their placement introduces tension within an otherwise rigid structure, transforming pattern into narrative.
Rendered in monochrome, the image emphasizes repetition, alignment, and interruption. The city becomes abstraction; human presence, punctuation.
