Each in Their Own Place: urban solitude and contemporary architecture
This series explores urban solitude and contemporary architecture through a minimalist aesthetic and dramatic lighting.
The scenes are composed of rigid, geometric constructions that evoke compartmentalized spaces where individualism prevails. Dominated by shades of red and blue, the imagery creates a tension between warmth and coldness, intimacy and detachment.

Human presence is barely perceptible—suggested through shadows or traces—reinforcing the impression of a fragmented world. Here, architecture becomes a silent witness to the emotional isolation of city life. Each digital painting presents a still, almost deserted urban setting, questioning how individuals inhabit and relate to the built environment.

Through these visual compositions, I question how contemporary cities shape our behaviors, interactions, and perception of others. The proliferation of walls, corridors, and smooth surfaces in modern urban design often contributes to a kind of depersonalized efficiency—at the cost of human connection.

This series resonates with pressing issues: urban loneliness, the dehumanization of public spaces, and the erosion of social bonds in a hyperconnected society. It encourages viewers to pause, to seek out the invisible, and to feel the absence.
