In this series of photographs, I try to show the geometric forms in New York City through their buildings. It’s interesting how very simple shapes such as rectangles, circles, and triangles can form very complex, huge, beautiful, and interesting buildings. Architecture has always caught my attention, its forms, evolution, different styles, from the most rustic and old to the modern, from the most complex to the minimalist, I find it very interesting. And in the city, we can find everything about that. I’m not an architect, in fact, my career is communication design, but for me, New York has a very striking and unique mix of different architectural styles. You can cross a corner full of columns in the Greco-Roman style and then come across a colossal 47-meter modern building. So, I decided to show that in my photography series.
I went to lower Manhattan to take photos because in Brooklyn are only residential houses and are not the same as the huge buildings as the financial district. Unfortunately, the day that I decided to go wasn’t sunny, so I decided to find the abstraction and the juxtaposition of the buildings. This was very funny because you need to think in another way to view the buildings and take photos from a point of view that’s makes it interesting to the viewer.
