Modern architecture has long captivated photographers, offering a canvas of bold lines, striking forms, and towering silhouettes that seem to defy gravity. The world’s iconic skyscrapers, from their gleaming facades to their intricate structural details, have been photographed countless times and from innumerable angles. In seeking to create a fresh and personal visual interpretation of these architectural marvels, I found inspiration in the abstract art movements of the 20th Century, which charted a journey from the figurative representation of reality to increasing levels of abstraction.
