ESSENCE OF MINIMALSIM
ESCAPE THE MATRIX
A photograph that unveils more with a closer look. When I stumbled upon this door, hidden amongst the everyday, it reminded me of a famous street artist’s distinctive style. The door, a clear yet easily overlooked detail in a windowless facade, presented itself as the silent guard of a mystery. It might serve as an exit from the Matrix, a portal to another dimension—noticeable only to the keen observer.
Driven to document this urban mystery, I composed a minimalist scene, enhanced by consistent, shadow-free lighting. The symmetry and the prohibition sign, adding a hint of color, draw the viewer’s attention and encourage interpretation. This panoramic shot on Kodak Ektar film reflects my intrigue with locations that seem to quietly narrate tales, even in their silence.

Shot on 120 film with a panoramic camera, the image appreciates the clean aesthetic of urban architecture and reflects on the balance between sameness and individuality in our built environments.

INTO THE UNKNOWN
This piece stands as a monochrome testament to solitude and contemplation. Through the meticulous use of thirds and the timeless medium of analog film, the image beckons viewers to ponder the unseen and uncharted paths of life. The pier, fading into a misty veil, symbolizes the journey into life's opaque future, inviting a pause to reflect on the depth and direction of one's own path.
