Inspired by the tasting notes of the classic Manhattan, this work seeks to capture a bold, warm, and sweet note. Through a deconstructed, abstract approach, the image unfolds in layers, each elevated to create depth and intrigue. Looking into the bottom of the glass, the composition reveals a narrative—whether it is the promise of a night yet to come or a moment of reflection on the night already been. Tokyo Awards
