Lobby, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 2007

The lobby floor of the Petronas Towers is inlaid with a pattern of curving lines, resembling paths or lanes. By shooting down on these lines from above, I create a sense of radiant, rhythmic energy. I include two people in this picture, moving in different directions. The woman in Muslim dress looks in one direction and walks in another, the blurred man at the right hand edge carries us in an opposite direction. These divergent paths seem to expand the pattern beyond its borders.

Without the curving lines, this image would express very little.
