“With the development of my eye as a cinematographer over more than 30 years working in cinema, I look for geometric details, aesthetics, color palettes, and the distortion of water movement. These are portraits of architecture in motion, with water as symbolism, geometrics, and neo-concrete. The symmetrical look in the foreground. The moving lines. The distortions through symmetry. I also perceive the memory of place, time, people, religion, faith, baptism, purification, union, and cleansing.”
