New York based artist Aakash Nihalani pulls shapes around NYC using rolls of coloured tape to modify the most vanilla of urban landscapes.

To highlight the unexpected contours and elegant geometry of the city itself, Nihalani plays with perspective and gives us something to stop and look at when we would otherwise just keep on keepin' on.

His work consists mainly of isometric rectangles and squares, with each piece created as site-specific installations, "We all need the opportunity to see the city more playfully," he says, "as a world dominated by the interplay of very basic color and shape. I try to create a new space within the existing space of our everyday world for people to enter freely, and unexpectedly 'disconnect' from their reality. People need to understand that how it is isn’t how it has to be. My work is created in reaction to what we readily encounter in our lives, sidewalks and doorways, buildings and bricks. I’m just connecting the dots differently to make my own picture."

So take a look through the gallery above, then get out there, get creating and start connecting your own dots, in your own places.
