Abstract Simplicity - Introduction
This project is a minimalistic representation of how shapes and patterns that lie within the urban landscapes of our modern environment are portrayed through the use of magnification. I feel these shapes and hidden mathematical, geometric patterns are littered all around our manmade urban landscapes which is why we don't seem to notice them as much.
I want to draw attention to these shrouded decorations that are concealed by the architecture that seems to have become too abundant for us to notice the value that it carries with it. I aim to draw the people's attention by displaying these striking images and surprising them with the minimalistic approach when presenting my work but also when shooting it. I made sure the images were surprisingly simple but also distinctly effective at portraying the messages that run through my project.
An infinite number of different shapes and patterns exist within the world around us that we simply pass by and dismiss. I think we take these extreme abstract patterns for granted and we don't take a different perspective on the matter as often as we should. People are too busy to just take a moment to look at the hidden shapes within our manmade structures. These patterns do not only exist within the urban environment but I feel this is where they represent our disguised artistic nature the best.
I think we subconsciously hide these designs within the architecture and commercial advertisements so we notice them less. I like to think I see these patterns and I want people to notice them too. I have tried to make these patterns stand out from the usual abstract and magnification images by including my own personal thoughts and brain patterns within my images.

An advanced perspective on the structures around us tell us more about how we create things and almost forces our brain to reverse engineer the subject. I think this is a theme which runs throughout my images as I feel once the viewer know my image is of an advertisement, a wall or fence they start to try to fix the image in their head and evaluate how the image works. This is my main aim for the viewer, to try and get them to think about where the image has come from, not where it is now.
