Piece description from the artist
Downtown Detroit has a unique blend of 1920s historic skyscrapers, modern highrises, and a blend of other buildings with a variety of scales, building materials, and design. This skyline perspective, which also shows the Detroit River and Canada in the background, is unique and not a common downtown perspective.
Rod Arroyo is a photographer and city planner based in Detroit, Michigan. His photographs have appeared in the documentary films "Lemonade: Detroit" and "Best of the Best – Jazz from Detroit," Hour Magazine, the Detroit Artists Market, Kresge Foundation, numerous local shows, and eight books of city photography.
