Folded facades

Folded facades. 2019.

Two buildings share the frame but refuse to sit neatly together. A pale grid of windows runs straight and orderly behind a sheet of glass that seems to ripple, bending its own set of stripes into a diagonal fold. At this focal length the city feels flattened, more like layered paper than concrete and steel, and the reflected patterns turn into something closer to drawing than documentation. The photograph lingers on that tension between control and distortion, where modern architecture becomes a stack of shifting lines rather than a fixed, dependable facade.
