Sprawl

Sprawl
2015

This series explores the growth and decay of a city over time, focusing on ideas of limitation, crowding, expansion, and destruction. The work blends representational and abstract styles to depict how cities evolve and transform. At its core, the series reflects the cyclical nature of growth and decay—how development and decline are intertwined processes, with each giving rise to the other in an ongoing rhythm of change. Through this series, I consider how urban development, often seen as a symbol of progress, can also reveal limitations and challenges—both for the city itself and for those who inhabit it.
