The image has several intriguing features: First, it is expanded vertically to emphasize the transition between wide, low buildings in the foreground to tall, narrow structures further up the hill. Second, the geometric elements defined by the city streets converge at a single point above the image. Together, these features define a pattern for the individual parts of the 6-layer piece: wider and shorter components at the bottom becoming narrower and taller further up, and folds in each component that radiate out from the convergence point.
