Observations:

The view towards the square mile across the Themes with the Tate Modern gallery at our backs, Standing under the Louise Bourgeois Spider. I flipped the millennium bridge to a concave and made it seem more like a unstable rope bridge. The distance to the square mile pushed far into the distance. Representing the great distance between most of the world and what goes on in the square mile, with St. Paul's standing over with all its historical context.
