Recomposition No. 15

After composing a collage of two abstract photographs of the Oculus in New York City that I embedded in the final image, I  explored the landmark's diverse layers of culture, humanity, and urban space, focusing on its traces of the past. Buildings with unique architecture are modifications of urban space, reflecting the technology and understanding of humanity at any given time. Inspired by the Bauhaus style, I created a digital collage using painting techniques, working with layers and different brushes while incorporating geometrical forms. 

Given the transformations of the urban space, with its multiple functions of memorial, observance, and meeting spot, I created an abstract image reminiscent of a Japanese garden. Moreover, as the forms incorporate musicality, the image acquires autonomy beyond any object of reference. 

The photographs became a part of the compositions rather than the main element. As a result, the abstraction in the images developed its energy and direction, creating images that build their own inner needs and intensity without worrying about pure external reality.
