City Palette
The Silent Storyteller
The colour palette of a city is a silent storyteller, weaving together tales of its history, culture, and identity through the shades that colour its skyline, streets, and spaces. This palette is not arbitrary; it reflects the city's infrastructure and environment, shaped by architectural materials, natural landscapes, and the interplay of light and shadow.
Timbuktu, Mali
In this experimental art project, I embarked on an exploration of urban identity through colour. I used satellite imagery to capture snapshots of cities from an aerial perspective at a specific moment in time. I processed to extract a distinct colour palette that encapsulates the essence of each city – its climate, natural resources, architecture, and more.
