This complex kumiko work depicts a mountainous landscape, draped in mist. By applying the design to a folding screen (byōbu), the viewer can feel immersed within the surrounding landscape.*
Kumiko latticework
Kumiko refers to the intricate latticework used in Japanese architectural fittings (tategu) such as shōji – translucent, sliding partition screens; ranma – decorative transoms; and tsuitate – freestanding, movable partition screens. The origins of kumiko likely date back to the Kamakura period (1185–1333), with techniques passed down through generations. The central process involves crafting thin, delicate pieces
of wood and assembling them in various geometric patterns to form a seamless surface. This advanced technique was further developed in the latter half of the 20th century. While high-quality, straight-grained hinoki cypress is typically preferred, integrating contrasting natural colours from a variety of woods can give Kumiko works an expressive painterly quality.*

The Craft of Carpentry Drawing Life from Japan’s Forests
(March – July 2025)
This exhibition reveals the essence of Japanese carpentry in three ways: through the work of temple and shrine carpenters (dōmiya daiku); that of teahouse carpenters (sukiya daiku); and joinery techniques (kigumi).
Since ancient times, Japan’s craftspeople have been shaping their social environment. Their work continues to permeate all aspects of life, contributing to everything from the everyday to the most sacred grand designs. Within this society, people have always been grateful for the blessings of nature and revered the innumerable kami – spirit-deities – residing in the natural world. Carpenters and woodcutters respectfully seek forgiveness from the forest kami before gathering the raw materials for their work. Understanding the individual qualities of trees and their environment is crucial to their activities.
The great 20th-century craftsman Nishioka Tsunekazu laid out a number of key principles. For temple construction, he advised using wood from a single mountain, and understanding the wood’s natural curves. Choosing the right wood is vital: trees grown on higher mountain slopes are ideal for structural elements such as beams and pillars, while those in the lower valleys are better for finishing materials. When used correctly, wood can last for generations. Timber is only a renewable resource if the growth period of the tree and the life of a building align. If we use a 1,000-year-old tree, we need to be prepared to take on more than 1,000 years of responsibility for the building we create.
The precision of Japanese woodworking is deeply rooted in a respect for nature, expressed through highly refined techniques and tools. In a land where iron is scarce, carpenters developed advanced joinery methods that do not rely on the use of nails. As we reconsider our relationship with our planet, these practices offer a wisdom that continues to resonate today.

St. John's is the oldest German Protestant church in Detroit, founded in 1833 by Rev. Friedrich Schmid, who had been sent to America by the Evangelical Mission Society of Basel, Switzerland. The first worship service took place August 18, 1833 in the carpenter shop of John Hais. Pastor Schmid served the congregation until July 1836. German was the language used exclusively in the worship service until 1938. St. John's was the base from which twelve other German Protestant churches in the city were formed.[2] St. Luke Evangelical church was organized in 1891. St. John's and St. Luke's merged in 1969.
The church was originally constructed in 1874, and was designed by architect Julius Hess. The façade features a large tower on one side and a smaller tower on the other, flanking the entranceway. A large lancet window dominates the façade and a gabled vestibule fronts the gabled entrance. The exterior has been extensively altered from its original appearance. The structure of the church is brick, but in 1915 the exterior was completely covered in Formstone, a cast concrete made to resemble limestone.
The interior of the church is High Victorian Gothic in design, painted white and gold with elaborate Gothic woodwork. The lighting system is historically significant, and the church features a Votteler organ.
Layers of brilliantly dyed textiles cascade across the foreground, their intricate geometric patterns weaving a visual narrative of Andean heritage in the heart of the Argentine Northwest. Brilliant oranges, deep indigos, and rich crimson reds dominate the composition, drawing the eye across the textured surfaces of these traditional aguayos. The tactile quality of the woven wool is palpable, capturing the essence of local artisanal craftsmanship found in high-altitude markets like Iruya. Shot with a pronounced shallow depth of field, the telephoto compression isolates the vibrant fabrics against a softly blurred background. The natural sunlight washes over the textiles, highlighting the meticulous threads and intensifying the saturated colors while casting subtle shadows in the folds. In the softly focused background, stacks of regional hats—ranging from traditional bowler styles to wide-brimmed sun hats—rest on tables, hinting at the bustling commerce of the plaza. Silhouettes of local vendors and shoppers move ethereally through the arched corridors of the adobe architecture behind the stalls, providing a vital sense of place without distracting from the main subject. These textiles are not mere souvenirs; they are functional art pieces deeply embedded in the daily life and cultural identity of the Andean communities. The repetition of patterns and the sweeping horizontal lines of the folded cloths create a rhythmic, almost hypnotic visual flow. This vibrant tableau perfectly encapsulates the sensory overload and rich cultural tapestry characteristic of northern Argentina's traditional artisan markets. This image is a collaborative production by Samuel Jeffery and Audrey Bergner for Project 23.

Capas de textiles brillantemente teñidos caen en cascada por el primer plano, con sus intrincados patrones geométricos tejiendo una narrativa visual de la herencia andina en el corazón del Noroeste Argentino. Naranjas brillantes, índigos profundos y rojos carmesí intensos dominan la composición, guiando la mirada a través de las superficies texturizadas de estos tradicionales aguayos. La calidad táctil de la lana tejida es palpable, capturando la esencia de la artesanía local que se encuentra en mercados de gran altitud como Iruya. Fotografiada con una pronunciada y poca profundidad de campo, la compresión del teleobjetivo aísla las vibrantes telas contra un fondo suavemente desenfocado. La luz solar natural baña los textiles, resaltando los meticulosos hilos e intensificando los colores saturados mientras proyecta sombras sutiles en los pliegues. En el fondo suavemente enfocado, pilas de sombreros regionales —que van desde el tradicional estilo hongo hasta sombreros para el sol de ala ancha— descansan sobre las mesas, insinuando el bullicioso comercio de la plaza. Las siluetas de los vendedores y compradores locales se mueven de forma etérea por los pasillos arqueados de la arquitectura de adobe detrás de los puestos, proporcionando un sentido vital del lugar sin distraer del sujeto principal. Estos textiles no son meros recuerdos; son piezas de arte funcional profundamente arraigadas en la vida cotidiana y la identidad cultural de las comunidades andinas. La repetición de patrones y las amplias líneas horizontales de las telas dobladas crean un flujo visual rítmico, casi hipnótico. Este vibrante cuadro resume a la perfección la sobrecarga sensorial y el rico tapiz cultural característico de los mercados artesanales tradicionales del norte de Argentina.

Bathed in the intense, unyielding high-altitude sunlight of the Argentine Northwest, a pale peach adobe wall serves as a canvas for striking cultural expression. Bold, stylized black lettering spells out "OTRO MUNDO," translating to "Another World," a fitting moniker for the remote and enchanting landscapes of Iruya. The typography is flanked by intricate indigenous motifs, reminiscent of Andean chakana crosses and ancient labyrinthine patterns that speak to the region's deep pre-Columbian roots. A deeply recessed, rustic wooden window frame anchors the composition, hinting at the thick, insulating earthen walls typical of traditional Andean architecture. Shot with a dynamic Dutch angle, the photograph utilizes a shallow depth of field to intentionally blur the expansive blank wall on the left, funneling the viewer's gaze directly toward the painted folklore. Hard shadows cast by unseen overhead elements slice diagonally across the textured facade, creating a stark contrast that highlights the ruggedness of the high-desert environment. A small sliver of brilliant, cloudless cobalt blue sky peeks out from the upper right corner, emphasizing the pristine clarity of the Andean atmosphere. Below the window, a painted spiral motif spirals downward, adding a touch of mystical symbolism to the everyday street scene. The juxtaposition of the weathered wood, the sun-baked clay, and the crisp, dark paint encapsulates the enduring artistic spirit of Northern Argentina. This intimate architectural detail captures the essence of a place where ancient traditions remain visibly etched into the modern daily landscape.

Bañada por la luz solar intensa e implacable de gran altitud del Noroeste Argentino, una pared de adobe color melocotón pálido sirve como lienzo para una llamativa expresión cultural. Letras negras llamativas y estilizadas deletrean "OTRO MUNDO", un apodo apropiado para los paisajes remotos y encantadores de Iruya. La tipografía está flanqueada por intrincados motivos indígenas, que recuerdan a las cruces andinas chakana y a los antiguos patrones laberínticos que hablan de las profundas raíces precolombinas de la región. Un marco de ventana de madera rústico y profundamente empotrado ancla la composición, insinuando las gruesas y aislantes paredes de tierra típicas de la arquitectura tradicional andina. Tomada con un ángulo holandés dinámico, la fotografía utiliza una profundidad de campo reducida para desenfocar intencionalmente la extensa pared en blanco de la izquierda, canalizando la mirada del espectador directamente hacia el folclore pintado. Las sombras duras proyectadas por elementos superiores invisibles cortan diagonalmente la fachada texturizada, creando un marcado contraste que resalta la dureza del entorno del desierto de altura. Una pequeña franja de cielo azul cobalto brillante y sin nubes se asoma desde la esquina superior derecha, enfatizando la prístina claridad de la atmósfera andina. Debajo de la ventana, un motivo de espiral pintado desciende, agregando un toque de simbolismo místico a la escena callejera cotidiana. La yuxtaposición de la madera desgastada, la arcilla cocida por el sol y la pintura oscura y nítida resume el perdurable espíritu artístico del Norte Argentino. Este íntimo detalle arquitectónico captura la esencia de un lugar donde las antiguas tradiciones permanecen visiblemente grabadas en el paisaje diario moderno.

This abstract photograph captures a mesmerizing tangle of vibrant red threads stretched across a neutral, off-white background. The interplay of light and shadow creates a dynamic, almost three-dimensional grid, with some threads sharply in focus while others blur into soft, overlapping layers. The composition evokes a sense of controlled chaos, transforming a simple material into a complex, visually arresting pattern.
Sweeping curves of vibrant, sun-baked blue concrete dominate the foreground, carving a rhythmic geometric pattern into the heart of Buenos Aires. This striking low-angle perspective captures the iconic terraced seating of La Bombonera, the legendary home stadium of the Boca Juniors football club. The photographer utilizes the harsh, mid-day Argentine sun to cast deep, elongated shadows across the stepped bleachers, amplifying the stadium's structural texture. A sweeping, deep depth of field draws the eye along the converging blue lines, guiding the viewer's gaze toward the imposing, yellow-painted upper tiers that overhang the lower sections like a cavernous architectural jaw. The stark juxtaposition of the deep blue lower sections against the radiant yellow balconies immortalizes the famous team colors that pulse through the La Boca neighborhood. Despite the stadium being devoid of the roaring crowds that typically define it, there is a palpable sense of latent energy and hushed anticipation echoing through the empty concrete bowl. In this silent state, the sheer scale and steep incline of the stands reveal why this venue is renowned for its intimidating, cauldron-like atmosphere during match days. Faded white paint peeking through the blue steps and weathered concrete textures hint at decades of passionate jumping and chanting by the devoted supporters. Thin, blue metal handrails punctuate the vast expanse of seating, providing a crucial sense of scale against the massive architectural curve. The bright, cloudless sky above offers a tranquil contrast to the intense, localized passion embedded within these hallowed sporting grounds. This image is a collaborative production by Samuel Jeffery and Audrey Bergner for Project 23.

Esta sorprendente perspectiva de ángulo bajo captura los icónicos asientos en terrazas de La Bombonera, el legendario estadio local del club de fútbol Boca Juniors. El fotógrafo utiliza el duro sol del mediodía argentino para proyectar sombras profundas y alargadas a través de las gradas escalonadas, amplificando la textura estructural del estadio. Una amplia y profunda profundidad de campo atrae la mirada a lo largo de las líneas azules convergentes, guiando la mirada del espectador hacia las imponentes gradas superiores pintadas de amarillo que sobresalen de las secciones inferiores como una cavernosa mandíbula arquitectónica. La marcada yuxtaposición de las secciones inferiores de color azul profundo con los balcones amarillos radiantes inmortaliza los famosos colores del equipo que laten a través del barrio de La Boca. A pesar de que el estadio está desprovisto de las multitudes rugientes que típicamente lo definen, hay un sentido palpable de energía latente y anticipación silenciosa resonando a través del cuenco de hormigón vacío. En este estado silencioso, la pura escala y la pronunciada inclinación de las gradas revelan por qué este lugar es famoso por su atmósfera intimidante, similar a la de un caldero, durante los días de partido. La pintura blanca descolorida que se asoma a través de los escalones azules y las texturas de hormigón desgastado insinúan décadas de saltos y cánticos apasionados por parte de los devotos seguidores. Los finos pasamanos de metal azul salpican la vasta extensión de asientos, proporcionando un sentido crucial de escala contra la enorme curva arquitectónica.

This captivating drone photograph captures a stunning aerial view of a majestic fountain in a bustling city park. The fountain's intricate design features graceful water jets that create mesmerizing patterns in the clear, blue water. Surrounded by lush greenery and meticulously landscaped gardens, the fountain stands as a central focal point in the serene urban oasis. The high-angle perspective reveals the harmonious blend of nature and architecture, offering a picturesque scene that highlights the park's tranquility amidst the vibrant cityscape.
Clustered tightly along a reddish-brown, textured branch, a multitude of spherical, pale green cypress cones commands the foreground of this intricate botanical portrait. The scaly, vibrant green foliage weaves between the tightly packed seed cones, creating a heavy, bountiful cluster that speaks to the lush vitality of the region. Soft, diffused natural light catches the subtle ridges and slightly glaucous, powdery coating on the surface of the developing cones. Shot with a masterful application of a shallow depth of field, the central subject emerges with razor-sharp clarity against a beautifully rendered, creamy bokeh background. This intentional blurring of the distant foliage isolates the intricate details of the branch, drawing the viewer's eye exclusively to the complex geometric patterns of the alpine flora. The muted, forest-green backdrop enhances the cooler tones of the cones and the warm bark, creating a balanced and harmonious color palette. Found in the pedestrian alpine village of La Cumbrecita, this introduced coniferous species is highly representative of the town's unique ecological transformation. Originally a barren landscape in the Sierras de Córdoba, the area was meticulously forested by European immigrants to mimic the alpine environments of their homelands. These cypress branches reflect that enduring legacy, where nature and human landscaping have intertwined to create a distinct micro-climate and aesthetic. The crisp mountain air and frequent mists of this pedestrian-only enclave provide the perfect conditions for such robust evergreen growth. This image is a collaborative production by Samuel Jeffery and Audrey Bergner for Project 23.

Agrupados estrechamente a lo largo de una rama texturizada de color marrón rojizo, una multitud de conos de ciprés esféricos y de color verde pálido domina el primer plano de este intrincado retrato botánico. El follaje escamoso y verde vibrante se entrelaza entre los conos de semillas apretados, creando un racimo pesado y abundante que habla de la exuberante vitalidad de la región. La luz natural suave y difusa capta las sutiles crestas y la capa ligeramente glauca y polvorienta en la superficie de los conos en desarrollo. Tomado con una aplicación magistral de una profundidad de campo reducida, el sujeto central emerge con una claridad nítida contra un fondo bokeh cremoso y bellamente renderizado. Este desenfoque intencional del follaje distante aísla los intrincados detalles de la rama, atrayendo el ojo del espectador exclusivamente a los complejos patrones geométricos de la flora alpina. El fondo verde bosque apagado realza los tonos más fríos de los conos y la cálida corteza, creando una paleta de colores equilibrada y armoniosa. Encontrada en el pueblo peatonal alpino de La Cumbrecita, esta especie de conífera introducida es muy representativa de la singular transformación ecológica de la ciudad. Originalmente un paisaje árido en las Sierras de Córdoba, el área fue meticulosamente forestada por inmigrantes europeos para imitar los entornos alpinos de sus tierras natales. Estas ramas de ciprés reflejan ese legado perdurable, donde la naturaleza y el paisajismo humano se han entrelazado para crear un microclima y una estética distintos. El aire fresco de la montaña y las frecuentes nieblas de este enclave exclusivamente peatonal proporcionan las condiciones perfectas para un crecimiento de hoja perenne tan robusto.

Rows of dark, glass-crowned wine bottles recede into the shadows of Bodegas López, their uniform silhouettes creating a hypnotic, rhythmic pattern against the weathered wooden racks. The soft, ambient light catches the gentle curvature of the glass, emphasizing the tangible weight of time preserved in this subterranean Argentine vault. A central placard, starkly lettered with the details of the 'Montchenot Tinto,' acts as an anchor for the eye, revealing the meticulous documentation of a 1995 harvest that has rested for over a decade before its final bottling. The cool, quiet atmosphere of the cellar is palpable, suggesting a stillness that is essential for the maturation of fine vintages. Every bottle serves as a silent guardian of history, reflecting the deep-rooted viticultural traditions of the Mendoza region. The technical depth of field intentionally draws the focus to the center, blurring the periphery into a tapestry of obsidian circles and aged timber. This architectural harmony between storage and preservation highlights the dedication required to maintain such an extensive collection of liquid heritage. These chambers represent more than just a cellar; they are a living archive where the passage of time is measured in layers of dust and the steady evolution of flavor. Through the lens, the simplicity of the shelving contrasts with the complexity of the winemaking process, inviting the viewer to contemplate the intersection of artisan skill and patient aging.

Filas de botellas de vino de vidrio oscuro retroceden hacia las sombras de Bodegas López, donde sus siluetas uniformes crean un patrón rítmico e hipnótico sobre estantes de madera desgastada. La luz ambiental suave captura la suave curvatura del vidrio, enfatizando el peso tangible del tiempo preservado en esta bóveda subterránea argentina. Un cartel central, con las letras marcadas que detallan el 'Montchenot Tinto', actúa como un ancla visual, revelando la documentación meticulosa de una cosecha de 1995 que reposó durante más de una década antes de su embotellado final. La atmósfera fresca y tranquila de la bodega es palpable, sugiriendo una quietud esencial para la maduración de las cosechas finas. Cada botella sirve como un guardián silencioso de la historia, reflejando las tradiciones vitivinícolas profundamente arraigadas de la región de Mendoza. La profundidad de campo técnica atrae intencionalmente el enfoque hacia el centro, desenfocando la periferia en un tapiz de círculos de obsidiana y madera envejecida. Esta armonía arquitectónica entre almacenamiento y preservación resalta la dedicación necesaria para mantener una colección tan extensa de herencia líquida. Estas cámaras representan más que una simple bodega; son un archivo vivo donde el paso del tiempo se mide en capas de polvo y la evolución constante del sabor. A través del lente, la simplicidad de los estantes contrasta con la complejidad del proceso de vinificación, invitando al espectador a contemplar la intersección de la habilidad artesanal y el envejecimiento paciente.
