Through an extreme black-and-white abstraction technique, the image transforms the concrete into the abstract, turning commonplace objects into independent works of visual art. In the creative process, the strengths of black-and-white photography—its ability to reduce complexity to simplicity and its minimalist chromatic and formal quality—are leveraged to push the visual impact of the image to its utmost limit, presenting, in abstract form, the very realms that art can reach. Within this approach, the refraction of light plays a magical role in shaping the viewer's perceptual experience.
