Delgado has been inspired by the simultaneous claustrophobia of London and LA’s streets, and his micro world expands our sense of perception and reality in humorous and highly technical ways.
Even though his images are 2D, he pasted them at certain angles and gives them shadowing than makes them look 3D.
