What geometries underlie the natural and the built environments? What traces of the past do they retain?
Based on the underlying geometries of the built environment, Recomposition No. 06 mirrors the times, collective, and personal memories on and after the September 11, 2001 attack in downtown New York City. This attack, which led to the destruction of the World Trade Center, significantly altered the city's skyline and architectural landscape. The central element is an abstract photograph of the landmark Oculus, designed by Santiago Calatrava, which was part of rebuilding the urban landscape. I see architectural buildings as modifications of urban space, reflecting the technology and the understanding of humanity at any time.
The inspiration for this work stems from the transformative power of the Bauhaus movement, which revolutionized building design and offered significant social modifications. With their deep understanding of form, space, and structure, architecture and visual arts inspire and challenge us to approach innovative problem-solving solutions. They encourage us to see the world from a different perspective, to find beauty in the mundane, and to seek inspiration in unexpected places.
Recomposition No. 06 is a digital collage combining photography and digital painting. It is printed on archival pigment print paper (Hahnemuhle Fine Art Pearl) and is available in editions of 5.
