Tim Noble and Sue Webster

This image by Tim Noble and Sue Webster uses the artists' famous technique of sculptures representing totally different images in their shadows (negative space) to portray a Manhattan skyline with a pile of soda cans and other trash shot through with air gun pellets like an adolescent's firing range. I was drawn to their work immediately because it's so darn impressive what they can do with shadow, but was particularly drawn to this work due to the tension it creates between the violent and negative images in the physical sculpture and the glorified symbol of the skyline behind.
