My time in Philadelphia has shaped the subject matter of this series of cityscapes. While some of the buildings are inspired by real structures, they are reimagined and placed within compositions that are entirely my own. In my work, I experiment with design concepts, playing with graphic elements and contrasting surface textures—whether glossy or matte, rough or smooth. At the heart of this series is a deeper exploration of place, time, and mystery, alongside the invisible energy that moves through spaces—like spirits emanating from within and around.
