As the photographer, my intent in creating this triptych was to capture the abstract, sculptural qualities of industrial architecture and infrastructure. I wanted to make the viewer appreciate the inherent visual beauty and design within these functional structures. I believe this triptych has been successful in achieving the statement of intent. The use of black-and-white imagery, the framing and composition, and the emphasis on patterns and forms all work together to draw the viewer’s attention to the abstraction of these industrial buildings. In terms of success criteria, I feel I’ve effectively highlighted the shapes, textures, and interplay of light and shadow that give these structures their abstract quality. The presentation of these images in a triptych format was a deliberate choice, inspired by the work of photographers like Albert Renger-Patzsch, who often documented industrial architecture. This allows the viewer to make visual connections and comparisons between the individual compositions, further emphasizing the aesthetic relationships. On a personal level, I’m drawn to finding beauty in the overlooked and the ordinary. These industrial structures, often dismissed as purely functional, hold a fascination for me. By capturing them in this way, I hope to encourage the viewer to shift their perspective and consider the innate artistry inherent in design. Ultimately, I want the viewer to engage with these images, to see the ordinary world around them extraordinarily. If I had more time, it would be interesting to experiment with incorporating human activity into the pictures, further contextualizing these abstract forms and structures. Overall, I’m pleased with the outcome of this triptych and believe it successfully explores the theme of finding beauty in the infrastructures.
