Description
"This photograph shows a close-up view of an architectural concrete structure, where sweeping curves intersect with flat planes. The surface bears the subtle imprints of construction; seams, bolts, and weathering, that reveal both the precision and imperfection of poured concrete, and its abstract beauty. The image, taken outside Melbourne's Hamer Hall, tells the story of brutalist design translated into abstraction. By focusing tightly on the material and form, the photograph removes any immediate sense of scale, leaving the viewer to interpret whether they are seeing the corner of a massive overpass, the arc of a modernist building, or a sculptural fragment. It’s a meditation on geometry, texture, and the quiet poetry of urban infrastructure; how raw material, intended for utility, can also become an accidental canvas of beauty when seen through a different lens."
