Cityscape nominee

Axes align at New York City’s Financial District. Situated within a layered urban fabric, an individual flattening of architectural identity is juxtaposed against its own emergent and distinct collective urban assemblage. Extending beyond vertical peripheries, vehicles and pedestrians dissolve as a boat that circumnavigates an adjacent pier at the East River in Manhattan hides from view.

Jack R. Lehane is a self-taught photographer from Cork, Ireland. His photographic work aspires to engage emerging landscapes of architecture and design, contemporary fields of cross-cultural discourse, and the intersection of both. Navigating a range of thematics including photojournalism, travel documentary and socio-ecological environments, they aim to negotiate emerging spatial agencies. Grounding the craft of photography in a real-world context, they posit visual narratives that offer an opportunity to mobilise in a growing global community and public domain.
