The Black Symphony (2018)

The Black Symphony *The Black Symphony* was created in 2018 and is one of my first artistic photography projects. Although my approach has evolved since then, this project already contains key elements that continue to shape my work today: the interplay of light and shadow, the stillness of the moment, and the monumentality of the scene.

Architecture fascinates me as a powerful constant in an ever-changing world. Its presence shapes the cityscape, forms spaces, and tells stories of permanence and transformation. In The Black Symphony , this silent grandeur is made visible. Through long exposures, I let the movement and transience of the surroundings disappear—what remains is the architecture itself, an anchor of strength and monumental presence.

Photographs from this project have been recognized with awards—an acknowledgment that affirmed my artistic exploration of light, space, and time.
