A Sign of Life

“A Sign of Life” explores the cyclical nature of existence. The image captures a torn poster-covered wall in Soho, that with a hidden dove-like figure holding an olive branch - like the tale of Noah. Color, light, and compositional change explore the paradox of simultaneous destruction and creation.
