In capturing this image, I was drawn to the fascinating tension between geometric rigor and poetic expression in modern brutalist architecture. I deliberately chose a low-angle perspective to monumentalize the structure, while carefully isolating its essential elements – the clean lines, sharp angles, and textured surfaces – to reveal the abstraction hidden within the everyday.
By converting to black and white, I aimed to accentuate the contrasts and partially dematerialize the building, transforming the concrete into a canvas where light and shadow engage in subtle dialogue. My minimalist approach invites the viewer to contemplate these pure forms and consider how contemporary architecture, despite its apparent coldness, can create moments of austere beauty within our urban landscape.
Through this composition, I wanted to challenge the conventional perception of brutalist structures as merely functional, instead highlighting their capacity for visual poetry when viewed through a contemplative lens.
