About the Work This photograph explores the relationship between New York’s architecture and its everyday objects. A crushed soda can becomes a vessel for the city itself, blurring the boundary between place, memory, and consumer culture. The title refers to the intersection where the second exposure was photographed, anchoring the image in a real place while leaving its meaning open to interpretation.
Artist’s Process This work was created entirely in-camera using multiple exposure. Two separate photographs were recorded onto the same frame without digital compositing, Photoshop, or generative AI. Rather than using multiple exposure as a visual effect, I use it to discover connections between unrelated moments that already exist within the city.
Series This work is part of my ongoing exploration of New York through in-camera multiple exposure. Each photograph combines independent moments captured in the same city, revealing connections between architecture, everyday objects, and urban life. Through multiple exposure, familiar scenes become visual metaphors that couldn’t exist in a single moment, yet still feel completely natural.
