Bustling Out There

Cass Waters transforms a quiet windowsill into a charged threshold between safety and possibility. The city beyond is alive with endless opportunity, yet the pane of glass and thick sill hold the viewer in place, evoking the push and pull of urban life, especially felt in the wake of pandemic lockdowns. It is a paradox Nick Carraway grapples with in Gatsby; at first dazzled by the restless glamour of New York, he ultimately returns to the steadiness of home.
