The Stata Center, designed by Frank Gehry, at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology is seemingly alive. Because of the reflective
and angular elements of this structure are sharp, definitive, and
convoluted, the building’s image can change moment-to-moment.
Incredible swaths of shadows border intense reflections of the sun
as it peaks out from the clouds. Details, unnoticeable on bright
days, become apparent when overcast. As the seasons cycle, the
angle of light redefines the contours of the Stata Center. Indeed,
this structure exhibits a rhythmicity that is inherent to biological
forms as if though it were breathing, following seasonal cycles,
and reflecting the moods of those admiring or admonishing it.

Sariñana has exhibited his work nationally and internationally, including at the Aperture Gallery, FOCUS photo l.a., Photoville, and the Griffin Museum of Photography. He has also had solo exhibitions for his series, Prosopagnosia, and Image of Structure.

He has received accolades from the Sony World Photography Awards, Photolucida Critical Mass, and Latin American Fotografía, Sariñana’s photographic work has been featured by Apple and published widely in periodicals such as Black & White Magazine, Silvershotz, and PDN Magazine.
