Still rooms

Still rooms. 2025.

A wall of hotel windows repeats like a chord, each curtain drawn to a slightly different rhythm, while the blank grey panel beside them swallows light and detail. I liked the way the façade seemed to hold two moods at once, busy pattern pressed hard against quiet void, as if all the unseen lives behind the glass were shouldered up against a concrete silence. The little vents and ledges at the bottom edge become the only hints of scale, turning the whole scene into something closer to a diagram of privacy and absence than a straightforward architectural record.
