This exhibition highlights the elegance and novelty of the city's architecture, encouraging viewers to look upon the structures with a fresh perspective. Through intricate post-production, Yankus has omitted all signs of human life, seeking to home in on what's left behind and leaving a pensive capturing of New York's architecture.</p>
