Black Square Inspiration

Kazimir Malevich’s Black Square, first shown in 1915, marked a radical break from objective representation. It stood as a declaration that art could transcend depiction and instead embody pure concept.

My work is inspired by the desire to challenge that same ideology in a contemporary context—one in which the camera captures reality with such precision that the resulting images often become nothing more than faithful replications of the world in front of the lens. In response, my practice embraces abstraction through layered imagery, created either in-camera or through post-processing. These layers disrupt the straightforward record of a scene and instead evoke a distilled, re-imagined expression of the environment around me.

The final images function as a quiet homage to the concept behind Black Square: an exploration of what lies beyond representation.
