Honorable Mention / 2024 / Fine Art / Abstract

Controlled Geometry

The work demonstrates a combination of seemingly incompatible textures and forms, which, when combined, form an organic ornament.

The main task was to create effects exclusively with my own hands during the shooting. Thus, the contrast between the polar black and white background was achieved by manual light control to reflect how the same objects at the same time, with a difference of a few seconds, can appear differently to the eye, creating an effect of inversion and collage, without using their classical methods.
This is the control over light.
