In creating this image, I wanted to strip architecture down to its purest geometric essence. By isolating this zigzag pattern against the empty sky, I aimed to transform a three-dimensional structure into an almost two-dimensional graphic composition. The deliberate framing—placing the pattern on the right with ample negative space on the left—was intended to create visual tension and highlight the dramatic rhythm of the chevrons. I was particularly drawn to how light interacts with these angular surfaces, creating a stark contrast between the illuminated planes and shadowed recesses. This photograph represents my ongoing exploration of how architectural elements can transcend their utilitarian purpose to become abstract visual poetry. By removing all context and focusing solely on pattern and form, I wanted viewers to appreciate the inherent beauty in these geometric relationships that often go unnoticed in our daily encounters with the built environment. The monochromatic palette further emphasizes the purity of form and the interplay between positive and negative space that gives this structure its distinctive character.
she walks past the cold gaze of the ad, her expression matching its intensity, yet grounded in something real. the contrast is sharp: the flawless black-and-white model looms above, selling an unattainable ideal, while the woman below carries a bottle of water, a backpack, and a defiant presence. her crossed arms, her steady stride—they tell a story of someone who doesn’t need approval. in the streets of madrid, this fleeting juxtaposition of perfection and reality is its own quiet rebellion.
