Untitled (Six prints from Becoming)
2009
This suite of six offset printed photographs documents industrial and agricultural spaces, presenting stark architectural interiors defined by geometric structures and expansive perspectives. The images capture abandoned or repurposed buildings with distinctive features including vaulted greenhouse ceilings, metal frameworks, concrete pillars, and dramatic plays of light and shadow. Each photograph reveals the austere beauty of functional design through composition that emphasizes symmetry, depth, and the relationship between human-scaled infrastructure and vast empty spaces. The series exemplifies contemporary documentary photography's engagement with modernist architecture and industrial heritage.
