The main public atrium space serves as both access and the central space for the people, it is the critical bond between the axial volumes.

Photography Work
UNDERGRADUATE WORK
Concept
This body of work serves as a foray into the field of portraiture, the photos focus on the darker side of life as the physical spaces deal with the haunting aspects of life and these photographs explore uncommon places of portraiture. The images grapple with the theme of identity, for the subject do not represent their true self, but as a caricature of someone they could be. These places can elicit emotion of apprehension and anxiety that ultimately leave the viewer with questions. Through the exploration these spaces, the photos are able to dissect the connection between the portrait sitters and how they relate to the spaces.
