This work started as an exploration of shape and pattern. By pushing the abstract nature of tightly cropped and focused photos, I was able to create new shapes and patterns in details of modern architecture. I started to play with mirroring those patterns and further breaking down the recognizable aspects. That led to geometric patterns that reminded me of a kaleidoscope, which then inspired the use of saturated colors to contrast the monochromatic finish on most buildings. 

This is the antithesis of architecture in a way. Fundamentally, architectural design is bound by utility. Everything from how the space is best used by the clients to the basic properties of the construction materials constrains what is possible. In removing those constraints, I strip away the functionality in service to the pure elements of visual design (shape, color, pattern, etc).

This series expresses a core element of my creative soul - the exploration of possibilities. The question I constantly ask in my work is “What if…?”.
