EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Orbit Tower, standing tall and proud amidst the bustling Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London. Taken by the talented photographer Damian Grady in May 2013, this aerial shot perfectly captures the architectural marvel that became synonymous with the city's hosting of the Olympics. The Orbit Tower, designed by Anish Kapoor and Cecil Balmond, is a true testament to human ingenuity and artistic vision. Its intricate lattice structure seems to defy gravity as it spirals upwards into the sky, creating an awe-inspiring spectacle for all who witness it. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of not only its aesthetic beauty but also its significance as a symbol of sporting excellence. The tower served as an emblematic landmark during the 2012 Summer Olympics held in London, where athletes from around the world gathered to compete at their highest level. With its vibrant red color contrasting against a backdrop of greenery and blue skies, this image evokes a sense of energy and excitement that permeated throughout those historic games. It encapsulates both athleticism and artistry within one frame—a visual representation of how sport can transcend boundaries and inspire generations. Damian Grady's skillful lens has immortalized this moment in time when London stood proudly on the global stage. This print serves as a timeless reminder of an extraordinary event that united nations through friendly competition while leaving behind an enduring legacy for future generations to cherish.
