Inspired by the multifaceted nature of New York City, I set out to capture its contrasting energies through photography. In Central Park, I focused on the serene, gradual growth of nature, showcasing its quiet beauty. In contrast, I photographed the bustling steps of The Met, an iconic cultural landmark that embodies the city's vibrant and dynamic pace. Together, these images illustrate the striking duality of life in New York City—a harmonious blend of tranquility and intensity.
