Ashini Nanayakkara
Ashini Nanayakkara is a Sri Lankan photographer. Her research project Spatial Sense contemplates an urban future where physical and virtual worlds merge into a new dynamic and layered reality.
Using a combination of analog and digital photographic techniques, she plays with form, line, shape, and repetition to create complex geometric compositions of urban architecture. Drawing on the visual language of Constructivism, her work seeks to disorient traditional perceptions of space, place, and scale, pushing the medium’s capacity for abstraction.

Ashini imagines urban spaces as sites of transience that hold us between two realities: present and future, physical and virtual. Through multiple exposures and dramatic light, she defamiliarises banal architectural structures such as balustrades, bollards, and windows to reveal urban spaces that could exist in both our physical world and cyberspace, often blurring the line between these two realities.
