Chasing Shadows is a striking black-and-white photographic collage that explores the interaction between man-made structures and the transient play of light and shadow. This piece features a seamless collection of architectural images—bridges, buildings, staircases, and facades—stitched together to create a dreamlike urban landscape. Devoid of people, the absence of human presence amplifies the dialogue between solid forms and their ephemeral counterparts: shadows.

The high contrast between the stark lines of architecture and the soft, distorted shapes of shadows emphasizes the tension between permanence and transience. This contrast invites viewers to reflect on the interplay between what is fixed and what is fleeting, evoking a sense of quiet contemplation in the stillness of the built environment.

The minimalist color palette in black and white further underscores the timeless quality of the work, distilling the essence of form and light while leaving space for personal interpretation.

Chasing shadows - Porto 2020. The Leça Swimming Pool by Alvaro Siza in 1966.

Analogue photography, cardboard. Frame, ash and birch included.

42 x 42 cm
