Statement of Intent: Abstract Photography (Working Title: “Fragments of Light, Echoes of Place”)

• Message: My triptych will explore how abstract photography can reveal the hidden beauty of urban and natural environments threatened by overdevelopment. It invites reflection on how we overlook subtle, textural details of our surroundings amid fast-paced, visually cluttered lives—urging a slower, more intentional engagement with the world we risk eroding.
• Audience Response: I want my audience to feel curiosity and quiet wonder, followed by a gentle awareness of the small, abstracted elements that make spaces feel alive. I hope they leave with a desire to pause and notice the “unseen” beauty in their daily environments.
• Inspiration: I will get inspiration and develop my ideas by looking for photographs that isolate textural fragments (like cracked concrete, layered foliage, or refracted light through glass) and use minimal color palettes to emphasize mood over context. I’ll seek work that transforms ordinary scenes into abstract compositions, blurring the line between natural and manmade forms.
• Closing sentence(s): Abstract photography, for me, is a tool to reawaken reverence for the world’s quiet details—details that hold meaning even when stripped of their familiar contexts. By highlighting these fragments, I aim to remind viewers that beauty and significance exist in the spaces we often rush past, and preserving them starts with noticing them.
