Mila Gvardiol / ARCHITECTURAL DECONSTRUCTION
The series titled "Architectural Deconstruction" explores the boundary between structure and abstraction. In this collection, I transform buildings that intrigue me due to their forms using photomanipulation, creating abstract fragments and unexpected shapes. Each image represents my way of showing how familiar architectural forms can be dismantled and reassembled into surreal compositions. Through these images, I explore how everyday elements can be reshaped into surreal compositions that encourage us to reconsider how we perceive and understand the spaces around us.
