The photographer caters to the ancient ideal of beauty demonstrated in the Old World. The Greek and Roman empire, the Renaissance period and the Middle Eastern kingdom is heavily influenced by geometric and symmetrical designs.

These pictures have been taken across various locations - from crowded apartment complexes, underground stations, climbing escalators in shopping centers to tunnels, towering skyscrapers and traffic-clogged streets.
