URBAIN VIBE, 2026 Chromogenic mobile photograph, archival pigment print Montreal, Canada

Shot from street level along one of Montreal's downtown corridors, this image weaponizes perspective to transform the built environment into something approaching the mythological. The glass and stone towers converge upward toward a blinding solar flare, while a large circular sculpture at street level — a perfect geometric counterpoint — grounds the composition. Ihab Bochi saturates the blues to an electric intensity that no natural sky ever achieves, making the urban canyon feel less like a city street than like an image from collective unconscious: power, vertigo, and a strange, sterile beauty.
