Urban Diptych brings together photographs made during my travels through different cities. By placing two separate images side by side, I create new visual and conceptual relationships between fragments of urban space that originally had no connection.
Sometimes the pairing is guided by purely visual elements - color, texture, geometry, contrast, rhythm, or composition. At other times, the relationship is more associative, based on an unexpected similarity, tension, or dialogue between two places.
The diptych becomes a new image in itself, shifting attention away from the literal description of a city toward a more subjective way of seeing. Through these pairings, familiar urban details are removed from their original context and given a new visual meaning.
