Chicago expands far past the beautiful skyline, reflective glass, and glistening waters of Lake Michigan onto a concrete-laden, graffiti-kissed, billboard-peeling landscape. The city is filled with the smells of food, diesel fumes, and garbage-filled alleyways, the sounds of music, vehicle horns, and sirens while steeped in the experience of diverse, multicultural neighborhoods. These two paintings came together with a complexity of marks and various mediums placed, dripped, washed, sanded away, and layered upon until my experience of the city was translated. This is the symphony of my city.
