Nick Frank:

When looking at these two image I can immediately see the open and empty space that is being created. the bright, white tones that have been used create a sterile and vacant atmosphere as if both images are completely vacant of any life or joy. In the first image the lines seem to be straight and uniform, with the staircases all pointing in the same direction and the balconies being the same distance apart. This image seems cold and uninviting, not only because there are not people but because of the repetitive and overwhelming geometric lines and shapes. There is something futuristic about both images, as if they aren't even real places just imaginings of what could be some day. I think that this creates this unreachable and fake feeling within the work, as if they are film sets created for temporary use. I think that the yellow in the bottom image is bold and stands our against the bright white surrounding the rest of the work. The reflections create layers and symmetry within the image, the isn't one particular focal point and this allows the composition to follow the rule of thirds. Both of these images are liminal and surreal, they create an odd and uncertain atmosphere that both intrigues and and pushes away. I am very interested in liminal space and want to explore this further during my project.
