Deconstructing urbanscapes

In my exploration of deconstructing urbanscapes, I employ a methodical approach to create abstract topographies that mirror the complexity of urban environments.

Through dense geometric compositions reminiscent of cartography, I break down the layers of urban landscapes into fundamental elements, such as streets, buildings, and landmarks.

Each geometric shape and line represents a specific component
of the urbanscape, allowing viewers to navigate the intricate web
of city structures and spaces. To achieve this, I combine geometric shapes, lines, and patterns to construct intricate compositions that capture the essence of urban environments.

By layering these elements and manipulating their arrangement,
I create abstract maps that convey the interconnectedness of urban structures and the dynamic flow of city life. Through this process
of deconstruction and abstraction, I aim to challenge conventional perceptions of urbanscapes and invite viewers to explore the underlying patterns and structures that shape our urban experience.
