A monochrome composition reveals a quiet, architectural abstraction:

A wall, rendered in shades of a single grey tone stretches across the frame. The surface is flat and slightly textured, its monotony broken only by cracks and the stark interplay of vertical and horizontal lines created by electrical wire conduits. These lines suggest structure by dividing the frame. 


Two windows punctuate the wall. They are not aligned—one sits higher and off to the side relative to the other, introducing a quiet tension, a deliberate asymmetry. Each window is defined by sharp, linear edges, with frames slightly recessed, catching different tones of light.


At the base of the wall, a windowsill merges with the footpath, grounding the structure. The sill juts out ever so slightly, marking the boundary where architecture meets the street. This threshold is understated, yet its alignment with the pedestrian space hints at utility—providing light to a dark space.


In monochrome, all is unified by tone, yet divided by form and contrast. The composition becomes a study in spatial rhythm, geometry, and stillness.
