Photographed from the 54th floor of the Millennium Hilton on my 40th birthday, this is the Oculus as it’s rarely seen: floating in a void, detached from the chaos of the city. From above, its skeletal symmetry evokes flight, rebirth, and stillness. I stripped away the noise to expose what it really is — not just architecture, but metaphor. A bird, a scar, a prayer. In that moment, it mirrored me.

Noa Nick is a Hungarian fine art photographer and author with over a decade of professional experience, including ten years working in the New York Metropolitan area.

Her work explores the dialogue between architecture, portraiture, and abstraction, and has been exhibited internationally in Berlin, Milan, Copenhagen, London, Sofia, and Barcelona. She is also the author of 13 books published in the USA, where words and images often meet in her visual storytelling.
