The Upward Reach – Excelsior Sentinel

I’ve always been drawn to the way architecture tells a story of aspiration. In this study of the Excelsior Band Hall spire, I focused on the "feeling" of the structure—the way the weathered metal and visible rivets speak to human craftsmanship. By leaning into a high-contrast Noir style, I wanted to isolate this quiet sentinel against the elements, highlighting the sharp, resilient geometry that defines our local landscape.
