SAM RITTENBERG
Abstritti 33

“Abstritti 33” explores the infinite and cyclical nature of being. Photographed on a weathered wall in midtown Manhattan, the image reveals layers of torn and partially removed posters. Through shifts in color, light, and composition, the fragments were recomposed into an abstracted urban collage that expresses the paradox at the heart of existence, where destruction becomes creation, and the finite reveals the infinite.
