Empty Retail 07 is the most CGI blank canvas of this set. A remedial task in 3D rendering. At least I think it would be easy.

I don’t have the motivation to find out. Anyone interested in recreating this as a model? Please bring the interaction.

It’s the black bordered rectangles on the right side that make me wonder. Decorative or do they move. They don’t seem to connect properly where the wall meets the ceiling.

The black at the back is an ominous eye puller. Is that a chair hiding from the fluorescent lights? Maybe it walked back there to rest its eyes.

These images let my mind wander and wonder. No over processing. Just imagination as I ponder what consistently drew me to these pictures.

I am obsessed with emptiness and possibility it would seem. In a city this crowded these spaces are meditative and silent. Rarities haunted with just the buzz of lights that never go off.
