cities

clean lines meet clean angles along clean shapes; careful measurements, calculated symmetries in long stretches of steel, glass, brick, asphalt, concrete, stone, wood; straight and curved interpretations of the world and societies; our needs, dreams, longings projected on structures made to shelter and contain human interactions; façades that condense decades of power relations and acts of rebellion;

and submerged in this urban landscape, the organic frames of plants, animals, bodies, spring among hard lines, angles, shapes, shaping our search for other crooked contrasts and lively defiance; and somehow these chaotic expressions of round imperfection are far more flawless than the tidy perfection of our scripted edges. 

in this beautiful mix of natural and crafted outlines, the city turns its angular faces toward us; their steely gaze softened by the life forms growing around and within; their lonely look marked deeper in time and ourselves. this series looks for details in architecture and urban corners where light and life bring contrasts, stillness or animation to otherwise static human landscapes.
