Architecture begins with an attempt to understand how people make sense of their environment. It then gives physical form to that understanding. Buildings do more than occupy space; they embody assumptions about movement, hierarchy, and meaning. My work borrows the language of architecture not to depict buildings, but to explore the human impulse to organize an uncertain world into coherent structures.
Before a wall is built or a room is defined, architecture starts with an act of interpretation. The architect studies how people move through space, how they orient themselves, what they recognize as public or private, open or enclosed. The resulting building becomes a material expression of those assumptions. In this sense, architecture is not only construction; it is a model of how the world is expected to be understood and inhabited.
My work draws on this aspect of architecture rather than on architecture as a collection of buildings. The fragments of plans, sections, grids, weather diagrams, and technical drawings that appear within the images function as traces of an organizing impulse. They suggest systems of measurement and control, yet they remain incomplete and unresolved.
Set against photographs of clouds and atmospheric phenomena, these architectural elements encounter subjects that resist fixed boundaries and stable interpretation. The tension between the two becomes central to the work. The cloud refuses certainty, while the drawing seeks it. By bringing these visual languages together, I am interested in how humans project structure onto ambiguity, constructing frameworks of meaning in order to navigate a world that is often far less coherent than our models suggest.
