We Live in the Echo

We Live in the Echo A kinetic, low-angle graphic novel style digital illustration looking up at the iconic green elevated tracks over Jerome Avenue at night. A blurred silver 4-train rushes past overhead in a burst of motion lines and light, casting a complex, slatted grid of heavy shadows and light over a rain-slicked street, wet with fragmented reflections of neon and streetlights, creating a sense of urban rhythm and movement under a heavy, stormy sky.

We Live in the Echo

A rumble felt in the soles of your feet before it ever reaches your ears.

The elevated tracks cut the sky in half.

The train passes, a blur of silver and screeching metal, leaving behind a sudden, heavy silence.

It carries thousands of destinations, but the shadow it leaves behind belongs entirely to the street below.

We live in the echo.
