Monolith explores the city through my photographic practice, investigating the relationship between bodies and architecture in shared spaces. Using organic, ephemeral shapes, color, and balance, I create temporary physical structures and momentary surreal scenes.

By engaging in public and urban environments, these compositions challenge traditional perceptions of street photography, by transforming ordinary landscapes into dynamic visual dialogues. Through this practice, I invite viewers to reexamine their own movement, presence, and sensory interaction within the built environment, and to look at the spaces in a new way.

Opens November 13th at DAPHNE ART FOUNDATION
