This image is an abstract study of light, shadow, and movement within the strict geometry of the urban road network. Captured from a high perspective, the photograph shows an individual crossing the street, his long shadow stretching across the asphalt. The composition uses the road markings and the curve of the highway to frame the subject. The severe contrast between the brightly lit areas and the deep shadows emphasizes the man's solitude and the graphic, almost painterly, quality of the modern streetscape.
