Project Introduction

Abstraction in Architecture

Architecture is usually experienced as something fixed and recognizable—a building with a form, function, and identity.

My work begins by looking beyond that familiarity.

Through fragments of façades, surfaces, reflections, colour, light, and structure, I isolate moments in which architecture begins to lose its conventional identity. A wall may become a field of colour; a reflection may create an ambiguous space; a structural line may become an autonomous geometric form.

The abstraction I photograph is not simply hidden inside a building, waiting to be found. Nor is it entirely created by the photographer.

It emerges through an encounter between the architecture and the conditions of seeing—light, time, position, reflection, perception, and framing.

Photography therefore becomes both an act of discovery and an act of creation.
