A surreal, close-up view of the General Electric Building’s Art Deco crown, highlighting a rich contrast of warm terracotta stone, vivid teal spires, and electric gold filigree. An intricate, gilded pattern of curves traces through the structure, symbolizing radio waves and lightning. At the center emerges a stylized face figure, crowned by a metallic starburst and wearing stylized Art Deco robes. Intricate, jagged, and colorful, a dreamlike specter against a bland grey-blue sky.
This. Is. An actual building. In New York. Called the General Electric Building. 🤯🤯🤯 the mind fails.

The Golden Room, once the crown jewel of Eaton’s 9th floor restaurant, opened in 1931 and designed by Jacques Carlu in pure Art Deco elegance. After decades of silence and restoration, it still glows with the same quiet opulence, mirrors reflecting infinity, brass gleaming like time itself #Montreal

A stone building with a wooden door, situated in a lush green forest, with sunlight filtering through the trees.
A dimly lit image of an empty bench surrounded by dense, shadowy foliage, creating a serene and somewhat mysterious atmosphere.
Described by artist Chris Drury, "Cloud Chamber for the Trees and Sky" presents an encounter with nature seemingly divorced from everyday human perception, “like a scene from an old movie or a dream.”
