Artist's note
In this ever-expansive global village, existence of metropolis are not so significant, though they are spreading like the speed of light and the physical existence of human beings are incomparable so far as the urban atlas is concerned. Human beings as such are inclining towards more and more urban development without any consideration thus destroying the nature. For them, they are oblivious to the ecological balance as they are just constructing the array of the concrete jungles in their wild pursuit for development.
Nowadays new constructions are coming up. If we look at the sky line of a city, pillars would be visible next to every building as part of the new construction. Trees, animals, birds within the concrete jungle are like very unfortunate victims. Had we been able to trace the thought process of such trees, animals and birds, then we would have seen that each and every moment they were screaming as if these concrete jungles were eating them and they were looking towards sky for breath.
Metropolis and Cities are very complex topographies and thus a person not so familiar with these urban settlements may get lost in these localities. Beautiful architectures are also seen there; the excellence of architectures is always touching the newer heights with the help of technological development. Naturally trees have the characteristic to grow towards the sun. Now tall buildings are following the same way and they outgrow the trees and reaches further up in the sky.
