    'The Edge' - Creativity Works: Visual Storytelling with Magnum PhotosBrief: What's your London?

The one image chosen to be on display in the exhibition depicts an intersection of the human element with nature, a hint, which leaves the viewer wondering. This resonates with the feelings of the artist, als
