Skateboarder's Afterimage
The momentary movement of a skateboarder is captured against the backdrop of the Crowne Plaza hotel in the Republic Square. In contrast to the sharply defined buildings, lampposts, and bare trees, the blurred afterimage of the skateboarder expresses the city's dynamic energy and the flow of time through black and white contrast.
