Crystal City
This piece was commissioned to accompany an article on urban living. The article was never published but the piece remains.

While I have no desire to live in an urban center like Chicago or New York, the places themselves hold a great facination. Millions of people crowded into a few square miles, living with all the diversity and passion of the human spirit. All that energy and desire creates a rich tapestry of connection, generating great spires of dreams and pursuits.

I always imagined the "spirit-side" of a city to be a maelstrom of passion, with radiant flares where the strength of many is banded into a single purpose. So many purposes... so many dreams... crowded into a single area, layered and woven together into a vast lightscape called "The City".
