A mirage-like city rises from a wash of turquoise and ash, its architecture simultaneously asserted and eroded as if memory itself were doing the drafting. A molten core of amber light burns through the center, turning facades into afterimages and casting a vertical pull that suggests both a sacred axis and a scar. The fractured mark-making and submerged edges read like weathered masonry and reflected water at once, proposing an urban narrative where permanence is only an illusion held briefly by light.
