What draws me to this work is the contrast in texture. One gets to experience the fuzzy turf rooftop, the glossy, sparkly interior dome, then the smooth velum like dioramas and finally the brittle exterior entrance.
I have come to feel that very few photographs can be seen as single or standalone statement. Relationships are the key to resonance. The Rooftop photos alone are awkward, but together they form a gentle curve, a hint at infinity. Our antelopes and zebras co-exist, the stealth and stolid attributes are two sides of the same coin. There is a collusion between the fractured ceiling and the faceted dome that the quartet of pictures makes plain. An eminent sense of shelter, with its foreboding saw like edge, becomes a shaded refuge despite the rigorous geometry.
