Printed on premium crystal-clear acrylic, 65 VORTEX reveals the quiet beauty within Chicago’s harshest winter. Each piece glows with dimensional clarity and contrast, floating weightlessly from the wall with a French cleat mount — transforming cold stillness into timeless form.
A whisper of resilience frozen in time — 65 VORTEX transforms the brutal chill of a Chicago winter into meditative stillness. Photographed by Shadadow on January 30, 2019, at 11:10 AM near 63rd Street Beach, this image was captured during the historic Polar Vortex, when temperatures plunged to –26°F.
From coordinates 41.77891° N, 87.57222° W, the frozen lakefront stretches like a quiet planet — an otherworldly canvas shaped by ice and wind.
The name itself is a timestamp of place and feeling: 65 for the nearby street, VORTEX for the city’s frozen breath that morning.
Let this print bring depth, silence, and presence into your space — the stillness between chaos and clarity, preserved in light.
