Urban Memory transforms city streets into fields of memory and atmosphere. Each work begins with photographs taken on site, layered and veiled until architecture shifts into light, texture, and sensation. The images carry the emotional residue of place rather than its fixed outlines.
Familiar landmarks surface as traces, inviting the viewer to recall personal connections. The gap between recognition and disappearance becomes a space of communication.
The process is disciplined and transparent. Photographs are deformed and reconstructed through a consistent method of layering and displacement, turning external record into internal perception. Every element originates from the site itself and moves through a controlled system of transformation.
The city emerges as a perceptual field shaped by time, atmosphere, and memory. Each work holds the presence of place in a form that continues to live inside the viewer.
Urban Memory Series— Click Image for Details
Tokyo
Tokyo captures the city as a layered field of memory and light. Bridges, towers, and high-rises emerge through tonal compression, suspended between artificial glow and the first light of day. The image holds no fixed view—Tokyo is sensed through density and rhythm, shaped by the quiet motion of dawn.
Venice
In this vision of Venice, light overtakes form. A gondola moves through a narrow canal, and another crosses the Grand Canal—each drawn toward a field of radiance. The city becomes memory in motion, its beauty dissolving into warmth and reverence. What remains is presence suspended in light.
Coldova
Córdoba captures the tangled memory of a sunlit street—where Mediterranean warmth dissolves into a cool wash of time. Overlaid textures and visual noise mark the tension between presence and disappearance, preserving the city as a layered afterimage rather than a fixed location.
Rome
This image reconstructs the Colosseum as it exists in shared memory—fragmented, faded, and layered with time. Rather than depict a fixed moment, it evokes how history persists through erosion. Shapes remain, but details blur. The work suggests a memory passed down through generations, where presence survives through form, not precision..
Dublin
This work layers Dublin’s historic street textures into a single luminous field. Familiar signs—Guinness, The Temple Bar—surface through shifting veils of light, suggesting both presence and memory. The image is less a record of place than an atmosphere, where cultural identity dissolves into layered recollection and collective spirit.
NYC
This work dissolves Times Square into layered textures of light, shadow, and advertisement. Neon signs, cabs, and scaffolding blur into a restless surface, suggesting both spectacle and disorientation. The image captures not the city’s clarity but its overwhelming pulse, where urban energy becomes an abstract vibration of color and motion.
Croatia
This image captures a Croatian restaurant street scene, dissolved into layers of warm light and textured memory. Empty chairs and tables wait in quiet stillness, while stone walls and awnings fade into atmosphere. The work evokes both presence and absence—hospitality remembered as a luminous impression rather than fixed detail.
Stockholm
This work layers Stockholm’s historic streets into a luminous haze of yellow and ochre. Architectural lines dissolve into textured surfaces, evoking both memory and light. The familiar façades of cafés and passageways blur into atmosphere, suggesting the city as an impression carried in time rather than a fixed place.
Chicago
Chicago layers the city’s iconic skyline with the reflective surface of Cloud Gate, dissolving steel and glass into radiant fields of blue and green. Streets, buildings, and reflections converge, creating a city that feels simultaneously solid and fluid—a memory of presence shaped by atmosphere, light, and urban energy.
Lisbon
Lisbon reconstructs the city as an atmosphere of memory rather than a depiction of landmarks. Layers of light and fragmented urban textures dissolve into a field of perception, evoking how place survives in recollection: not as clear outlines, but as luminous traces that hover between recognition and sensation.
