REBIRTH OF A CITY
In reBirth of a City, Ralph casts New York’s iconic water towers as the consistent, unchanging image seen over the last century in the ever-changing city skyline in a series of lambent nude portraits in distant, wide-angle perspective. The photographic juxtaposition of these unique wooden relics–still a vital part of daily life–with the strength and softness of the female form offers a wholly new experience of urban physicality: the architectural and the corporeal at once representing life, creation & change.
