Architecture + Abstraction
I grew up in Brooklyn, with Manhattan just a subway ride or a quick drive over the bridge. From an early age, I was fascinated by its skyline—the sheer scale of the buildings, the number, and the layered history behind their facades.
Today, when I visit Manhattan or any other city, I still feel a sense of awe when I look at the buildings, but now I see them just a little differently. By moving the camera during exposure, I disrupt the rigidity of architectural forms, allowing motion to soften the edges to reveal something more atmospheric. The resulting images retain the essence of structure while leaning into mood and movement.
This work explores how place becomes personal—how architectural forms, imprinted through years of familiarity, begin to live less as static structures and more as emotional imprints, revealing, once again, the familiar in an unfamiliar way.
