URBAN REFLECTIONS
Reflections are reminders that our view of the world can constantly be expanded and given new forms. Urban Reflections is made up of photographs taken in different cities around the world. Its realization connects me to simple fragments of the space and everyday culture of these places. Reflective phenomena in their mirroring make us realize that even symbols of the rigid and static, such as a building, can present themselves infused and full of movement in a new space. The term reflex comes from the Latin reflexus and has several uses, in Urban Reflections the reflection of light transmits the sensorial of the work of art that can be perceived in a perspective opposite to its idealization, from the new to mirror the old, from the encounter of the eyes with the lens appearing in an unusual direction...I think that reflexes teach us about the need to flow. No wonder they are used with great frequency in photography, as Henri Cartier-Bresson told us “To photograph is to put the head, the eye and the heart on the same line.” In the simplicity of the images of the Urban Reflections series, the viewer is invited to observe and experience the reflective phenomena that appear in our daily lives. In times of uncertainty and fear, perceive them, just as a meditation conveys the peace of feeling living in the present and knowing that reflecting is not always diving into the clear. What separates us from the banal is the intentionality of the look.
