This is a museum-quality art print on thick matte or glossy paper which produce beautiful colors and rich black and white tones using archival pigment inks, designed to last for 100 years without losing its original beauty.

The title is a potent inversion of the famous, yearning song, "Take Me Home, Country Roads" by John Denver, trading the pastoral rural fantasy for the cold, dense reality of the city. Lev uses the linear geometry of the urban road, stripped down to pure structure and light, to suggest that the emotional longing for "home" is now inextricably tied to the complex, layered architecture of the city. This black and white work transforms the simple concept of a journey back into a profound, existential path defined by towering forms and the structured weight of modern life.

In this collection, Lev strips away color to reveal the pure essence of form, light, and feeling; forcing the viewer into a more intense engagement with the image. By removing the distraction of color, the work compels a focus on the fundamental visual elements: texture, line, and composition. From the sharp, decisive angles of Prow to the quiet, complex contemplation of Middle Age Zen, the works distill subjects down to their core architectural and emotional truths.

These black and white images feel both timeless and profoundly simple, appearing in stark contrast to the overwhelming, colorful density of our daily lives, creating a powerful tension that demands and rewards prolonged attention. This contrast makes the subtle details of light and shadow become the central subjects, revealing a depth and psychological complexity often obscured by color.
