I photograph Niemeyer's architecture as color fields and geometric abstraction. Through the Yashica Mat 124G's square viewfinder, three dimensions flatten into pure visual language: red planes against blue atmosphere, yellow fragments in white space. Kodak Portra compresses depth, softens edges. Concrete becomes painted surface. Film grain adds texture like brushwork. What emerges is color relationships creating emotional weight, geometric forms in tension—the dialogue between solid and void that Rothko explored.
