A vertically oriented black-and-white photograph depicts a massive skyscraper extending beyond the top edge and filling most of the frame. It towers over a wide building centered in the lower foreground. Both structures are covered in dense grids of illuminated windows, revealing silhouettes of furniture and tiny figures. Fragments of other buildings flank the left and right sides, creating a repetitive composition of geometric patterns and artificial light.
