An indoor waterway, an arched bridge and a painted sky

An arched bridge spans blue water, with street-like shopfronts along its sides and a sky-patterned ceiling overhead. The photograph brings these indoor details together.

Scenes recorded in the photographs.

Blue water beneath the bridge

A boat and a white balustrade sit in the foreground, with the arched bridge and shop windows beyond. The colour of the water contrasts with the subdued stone-like walls.

From the shop signs to the ceiling sky

“MICHAEL KORS” appears on the shopfront at the left. Above the windows, lamps and street-like facades, the ceiling opens into a pattern of sky and clouds—a meeting of water and architecture indoors.
