Lines, Shapes & Objects 2026
I am absolutely thrilled to share some exciting news: two of my black-and-white photographs have been recognized in the Lines, Shapes & Objects 2026 exhibition at Fusion Arts!
There is something profoundly rewarding about the process of stripping away color to focus entirely on composition, contrast, and form. To have that work resonate with the judges in this exhibition is a significant honor for me. My piece, Church Circles, was awarded 4th Place, capturing the architectural rhythm and geometric harmony that I find so captivating. Additionally, my photograph Santa Monica Doorway was selected as an Exhibition Finalist, a recognition that celebrates the interplay of shadow and structure found in our everyday environments.
A heartfelt thank you to the team at Fusion Arts for curating such an inspiring collection and for providing a platform that celebrates the beauty of line and form. I am so grateful to everyone who has supported my creative journey—your encouragement makes moments like these all the more meaningful. I invite you to view the full Lines, Shapes & Objects 2026 exhibition online and explore the incredible work of my fellow artists!
Church Circles
In this black & white study, the camera is positioned at the base of the Mormon Office Building, looking upward through a singular, circular aperture. Stripped of the distractions of color and street-level context, the composition transforms the 28-story administrative headquarters into a stark, rhythmic abstraction. The towering structure is reduced to a series of repetitive, geometric ribs that slowly converge, creating a visual echo of institutional order and architectural precision.
By isolating this vantage point within the framing of the oculus, the photograph invites a quiet meditation on the intersecton of faith, governance, and monumental scale. The play of high-contrast light and shadow carves the facade into an intense graphic composition, where the rigid uniformity of the architecture becomes a meditation on structure itself.
Santa Monica Doorway
In this monochromatic photograph, I explore the silent dialogue between light and architecture, focusing on the intersection of a doorway and the rhythmic geometry of shadow. By isolating the scene in black and white, I sought to strip away the distraction of color to reveal the raw tactile quality of the textured wall—each crevice and grain rendered with newfound intensity. The shadow cast by the overhead pergola serves as a temporal anchor; it is a fleeting, skeletal projection that imposes a rigid, musical structure upon the organic decay of the masonry.
The doorway becomes more than a passage; it represents the threshold between the tangible permanence of the stucco and the ephemeral, shifting nature of light. Ultimately, this image is an invitation to slow down and observe how the simplest architectural elements can, when touched by the sun, compose a narrative of rhythm, contrast, and quiet transition.
