BARCELONA: off the beaten track

  • Alba Urquia

A visual representation of Barcelona using a not so common iconography. Drifting apart from the obvious chimneys at Gaudi's La Pedrera and the funny-looking shape of the tower Agbar, this composition attempts to appeal to those who are truly familiar with the essence of city. In a way, this illustration explores how there are different levels of understanding, from very common symbols at a very surface level to hidden elements proposing a deeper meaning.
