Between Light and Shadows Series BLS019: The Silent Facade
Archival pigment print on fine art paper
2016–2024
"Not every story is told in words; some are left in the dust."
The Silent Facade captures the timeless elegance of Modernisme architecture, where Gothic revival blends with organic forms. Rounded balconies with intricate balustrades reflect the artistry of early 20th-century design, bathed in the soft morning light and suspended between night and day.
This piece embraces intentional imperfection. Subtle dust marks and surface scratches remain in the final print, becoming echoes of time’s passage rather than flaws. These details create a fragile atmosphere, as though the photograph itself is an artifact from another era, heightening its aged beauty and quiet resilience.
The process was intentionally restrained. Captured just before dawn, the natural light revealed the stone textures and curving balconies. Post-production enhanced the contrast to highlight the play of shadow and structure while preserving the raw integrity of the scene. The dust and marks blur the line between a photograph and an object weathered by time.
The Silent Facade reflects on time and impermanence. While the building endures unchanged, the photograph bears the marks of time, telling a quiet story of endurance and decay.
