Piece description from the artist
Slicing through the calm waters of the River Thames, a speedboat races beneath the iconic Tower Bridge, merging the thrill of modern adventure with the grandeur of London's Canary Wharf skyline in the distance. In this fleeting moment, past and present converge, painting a vivid portrait of the city's ever-evolving spirit. I took this photo because something about this scene touched me. I love the pop of colour the speedboat brings into the blues of the sky, the water, and the building meeting the slight warm light of the sun. Overall I think it represents London’s multiple city life dimensions.
