BLACK AND WHITE ARTWORK DESCRIPTION
Photographed in Akrotiri, Santorini, this black and white image is structured around balance through architectural layering.
The composition unfolds from a foreground of curved and linear built elements toward a dominant church and fortified structures in the background. A balustrade on the left introduces depth and direction, guiding the eye into the frame.
The environment consists of dense architectural forms. A domed church with a bell tower stands clearly against the sky, while adjacent structures form a compact mass of volumes and textures.
The relationship between elements is hierarchical. The church acts as the primary anchor, while the surrounding buildings support it through repetition of shapes and tonal variation.
Light is strong and directional. Highlights define the white surfaces, while shadows carve out depth within the clustered forms, separating planes and reinforcing structure.
Part of the Chorōs series, a body of work studying rhythm and musical structure within static visual compositions.
Printed as an archival pigment print on Hahnemühle fine art paper.
