2023's crisp November morning bears witness to a city's raw energy; a man, perfectly balanced, races down the concrete slope on his skateboard. Filled with the rush of 38 people going about their daily chores in the background, the scene captures the urban dynamism of our metropolis, marked also by its robust architecture – buildings, office towers, an amphitheatre and, remarkably, a clock tower. Delicate touches of nature, like grass, trees – even a rare sight of a palm tree, adorn the cityscape. Amidst the hustle-bustle, there’s also a curious canine, perhaps engaged in a chase. Noticeable, too, are a couple wearing hats, evidently engrossed in a musical duet on a piano. The scene is subtly lit by an urban sun, enough to illuminate but not intrude. A single traffic signal, almost metaphorical, looks on. Welcome to a day in the life of our city, a daily symphony of urban life.
