Transforming Mundane to Magnificent: The Antidote to Boring Architecture
Life is about reproduction, replication and evolution of Form.
Photography captures life’s forms, enabling exploration and commentary. It reveals nature in human constructs and creates patterns from everyday details. Recent research confirms dull architecture negatively impacts well-being and social interaction. My work counters this, using photographic imagery to celebrate form, replication, and our connection to nature.
With a performing eye, transform observation into an art form.
