Lime, Time, Lime; Construction Container

“Lime, Time, Lime” explores the infinite, cyclical nature of being. Shot in the W. Village, the image transforms a decaying container through shifts in color, light, and composition. These alterations reveal the paradox of destruction and creation, showing how beauty persists, evolves, and returns.
