Urban Contrast or Minerality

Urban Contrast or Minerality

View from the ground of Silos and Glass at Modern Art Museum - Cape Town - 2018

This monochromatic photography captures the essence of urban contrast. Two silos, stoic and solid in their cement construction, stand as pillars of industry. Yet, a profound juxtaposition emerges as they are divided by a pane of glass, fragile and transparent. The photographer's unique perspective, laying the camera on the ground and capturing the silos vertically, lends a dynamic angle to the composition. The play of light and shadow further accentuates the stark contrast between the rigid materiality of the silos and the delicate transparency of the glass, offering viewers a captivating study in texture and form.
