Artwork description:
The inspiration was a stark, engineering geometry combined with the uncontrolled painterly quality of erosion. The upper band, with its white, flowing dripstones, resembles a frozen waterfall, adding drama to the concrete. The middle band is a subtle palette of browns and grays, while the lower section, with its vertical, ribbed elements and rusting bars, serves as a powerful visual anchor. The photograph celebrates the architectural strength that slowly gives way to the elements.
I wanted to evoke a sense of gravity and quiet reflection. The work has an almost archaic character, evoking associations with ancient walls or ruins. It aims to encourage the viewer to consider the cycle of construction and destruction, and what remains after human intervention in the landscape. I chose photography to faithfully convey the complexity of textures: the roughness of the concrete, the glassiness of the dripstones, and the roughness of the rust.
