Structure of Stillness

Structure of Stillness is a black-and-white analog photograph capturing the skeletal framework of a circular shelter, its radial roof supports forming a complex web of symmetry. Sunlight pours in from the broken sections of the roof, casting sharp, fractal-like shadows onto the tiled walls and dusty floor below. Two abandoned tires rest beneath the web of lines—ghosts of motion in a space now silent.

The image bridges industrial minimalism and quiet decay, where form overwhelms function, and symmetry becomes the central subject. The absence of human presence is striking; it allows the structure’s form and the play of shadow to take center stage, evoking contemplation and abandonment simultaneously.

It’s a visual study in composition, texture, and tonal range—a meditative piece that invites the viewer to consider both man-made geometry and natural erosion over time.
