Liquid Crystal Metroplex

For me, underground cities are a powerful metaphor for creative otherworlds¹. Using photographs and renderings of clockwork mechanisms, I have created vistas of perpetually benighted subterranean machine-cities. I have seamlessly blended low-resolution mosaic images and saturated neon colors to create a screaming jumbotron effect.

The "liquid crystal" of the title references the fluidity of the urban space itself. The blackness is the lightless world of potential and unconscious thoughts that surrounds it. These musings are especially fruitful since the city is the locus of nearly all social interaction but remains somewhat enigmatic.
