ACP 11 Public Art - "Gifted"
Michael West, “Urban Zen”


“Urban Zen” is part of a series of photographs called “Urban Equivalents” created Winter 2009.  This series explores the strange and often surprising beauty to be discovered in the older industrial areas of Atlanta. This photo looks at line and shape and how the manmade tanks echo the organic growth of the trees in an abandoned warehouse area.  These photos were taken on different days and the perfect match up of the lines of the two buildings just happened. The image has a symmetrical, unplanned beauty. Take time and find your own “Urban Zen”.
