“Building’s Edge” captures Timothy Mulligan’s signature tension between precision and atmosphere. A sharply angled plane slices through the composition, guiding the eye across intersecting surfaces of concrete, glass, and sky. Subtle shifts in color temperature—cool blues against muted stone and sand—create a quiet dialogue between light and structure. The architecture feels simultaneously monumental and intimate, abstracted yet unmistakably real. Mulligan pares the scene to its essential geometry, allowing negative space and crisp edges to carry emotional weight. The result is a contemplative moment where modern design becomes a meditation on balance, restraint, and the beauty found at the threshold between solidity and openness, inviting viewers to pause, reflect, and reconsider the environment.
