Status

George, inasmuch as I'm not an economist and have no idea of the rents in the Empire State compared with other locations, I'll stick my neck out and agree for discussion's sake that the building, aside from being iconic, is a symbol of status. I can say without qualification that a Cadillac convertible certainly is one. Although you posted this image as fine art (no disagreement,) the multicolored grid also gives it an abstract appearance. Well done!

Thank you Micheal, the image as you have interpreted may mean different thing to others, it's an image I put together for that reason to make people think.
