The project explores the analysis of the imaginative environment and modes of perceiving the city, focusing on the relationship between the material world and its symbolic reconstruction. The reliefs are derived from the principles of the photographic process, specifically from the aesthetics and logic of vernacular photography, which reflects everyday life and its often overlooked fragments. Instead of traditional silver used in classical photography, the medium here is dust collected from the streets of New York – a material carrying the city’s physical traces and organic rhythm. Dust thus becomes a tool through which the city can be reconstructed: not as an objective representation, but as a subjective map oscillating between document, memory, and imagination.
