My abstract photographic work, titled "Door of Oblivion," reflects my fascination with impermanence and the marks left by time. This weathered, industrial French wall with its metal warning sign tells a story of decay and memory. The contrast between the different shades and textures of grey and blue creates a raw, yet intriguing aesthetic.
My inspiration for this work came from my discovery of wabi-sabi, the Japanese aesthetic that celebrates beauty in imperfection and impermanence. While walking through an abandoned industrial site, I felt a deeper connection with the space around me, as if every surface whispered its own history. I wanted to capture this hidden beauty and share it with the world.
This work evokes an atmosphere of contemplation and nostalgia, similar to the works of Aaron Siskind and Bernd and Hilla Becher, who also manage to capture the beauty of decay and industrial architecture. Their influence is evident in my approach to texture and composition.
"Door of Oblivion" is more than just a visually appealing piece; it invites the viewer to reflect on the stories hidden in everyday objects. It is a powerful statement about the beauty of the passage of time and a valuable addition to any wall. This artwork brings not only aesthetic value, but also a deeper sense of connection and reflection.
