Fragmentos

Fine Art Photography

August 2024

An abstract series deconstructing architectural surfaces into pure form. Shot in brutalist buildings across Mexico City — isolating fragments of concrete, shadow, and geometry that exist at the edge of recognition.

The Story

The line between abstraction and documentation is thin. Each composition needed to feel intentional as a standalone image while remaining rooted in a real physical structure — not digitally manipulated.

Key Features

01

Geometric Abstraction

Tight crops transforming stairwells, facades, and overhangs into flat geometric planes.

02

Shadow Play

Compositions where cast shadows become the primary subject, inverting figure and ground.

03

Monochrome Processing

Desaturated toning that emphasizes texture and tonal contrast over color.

04

Scale Ambiguity

No human reference or horizon — the viewer cannot tell if the subject is centimeters or stories tall.
