For my final project, I cropped out a section of a photograph I took last semester of an "in-progress" luxury condo in downtown Austin.

I was intrigued by the photographic sticker on the window depicting an idealized view of downtown Austin where all of the incoming residential high-rises are blatantly absent from the scene.

The ambiguous nature of the entire image made me want to move in closer to focus on the sticker itself and the space through the window around it.

As a pure experiment for myself and the viewer, I cropped down to the corners of the sticker to create a false, or "bad", illusion of the sticker being a first generation image (i.e., not a photograph of a photograph).

Not feeling like that step was enough, I took both images and reduced their resolution to 1ppi, reinterpolated them to 300ppi, and tried my hardest to make them sharp again.

I wanted this project to be pretty hard to read, leaving the viewer the chance to find their own meaning of the series.
