Visual representations of cell towers, observed from roadways, are juxtaposed with imagery reminiscent of early 20th-century sculptures. The deliberate integration of the towers and the sculptural elements, coupled with the incongruous interplay of perspective, shadow, or scale, is intended to elicit a sense of peculiarity while simultaneously striving to convey a semblance of truth through the emotional and atmospheric qualities of the scenes.
