DUALITY
PHOTO EXHIBITION SERIES
Binding Theme: Converging Perspectives
These two photos are connected by their upward perspectives and geometric elegance. Both images play with light and shadow, creating a sense of division and convergence. They also explore the contrast between soft and solid forms – the sails, though soft by nature, form a strong shape that moves the boat, while the oculus, though solid, represents a delicate and sensitive eye. Together, they highlight the beauty and symmetry found in both natural and man-made structures, showcasing how different elements can create powerful and harmonious compositions.
Butterfly
Despite soft and flexible fabric, the sails create a solid and powerful form that propels the heavy boat forward. The interplay of light and shadows during sunset splits the image into four distinct parts, adding a dramatic and serene quality. The contrast between the softness of the sails and their strong, solid shape highlights the dynamic balance between delicacy and strength.
Shades
Straight up view into the oculus structure in World Trade Centre. The photo showcases parallel lines that echo the sail’s lines in the first image, creating a harmonious geometric pattern. The glass windows, shaped like lines in the roof, allow glimpses of the sky, resembling an eye partially opened to bright light. While the oculus is a solid architectural marvel, it also represents a fragile and sensitive eye, blending strength with vulnerability.
