EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of Manhattan's bustling streets, the flatiron building stands as a timeless landmark, its distinctive triangular silhouette a beacon of New York City's rich history. But in the surrealist imagination of Larry Butterworth, this iconic structure takes on a new and otherworldly dimension. In his photograph "A Delicate Balance," the flatiron building is transformed into a dreamlike scene of ethereal beauty and apocalyptic intrigue. The image begins with a stark, monochromatic palette, the flatiron building looming large against the backdrop of an ominous, cloud-filled sky. But as the eye adjusts to the haunting scene, a sense of wonder emerges. A ladder, seemingly out of place, extends from the building's upper windows, reaching towards the heavens. Atop the ladder, two anonymous figures, small and insignificant against the vast expanse of the sky, appear to be engaged in a delicate and precarious balancing act. The surrealistic composite of this image invites the viewer to ponder the nature of dreams and the human condition. Are the figures attempting to ascend to the heavens, or are they simply trying to maintain their footing in the face of the unknown? The cloudy sky, a swirling mass of darkness and light, adds to the sense of uncertainty and possibility. Butterworth's masterful use of black and white, and his creative montage technique, imbues "A Delicate Balance" with a timeless quality that transcends the boundaries of reality. This surreal and fantastical vision invites us to look at the world around us with fresh eyes, and to embrace the boundless possibilities of the human imagination.
