About This Work

Urban Fragment III is part of Marcus Chen's acclaimed series exploring the intersections between architecture, light, and human activity in global cities. Shot in Hong Kong during a rare moment of stillness, the image captures the geometric precision of urban planning against the organic flow of daily life.

Chen's masterful use of natural light transforms a mundane street scene into a study of form and shadow. The photograph invites extended contemplation, revealing new details with each viewing—a figure barely visible in a distant window, the play of reflections on glass and steel.

This edition of three is printed on archival cotton rag paper, ensuring the image's permanence for generations to come.
