The Architecture of Presence

Sydney CBD

Cities were not built for people like her.Not originally.
The Architecture of Presence
They were built for commerce.For power structures.
The Architecture of Presence
For men who signed papers inside glass towers and believed that meant they owned the ground beneath them.
The Architecture of Presence
Architecture has always been a declaration.Stone saying we were here first.
The Architecture of Presence
Steel saying this is how high we can reach.Concrete saying stand where you are told.
The Architecture of Presence

The Architecture of Presence
They forget that the people who walk through them eventually rewrite the meaning of the space.
The Architecture of Presence
The woman in this series is not overwhelmed by the scale of the city.She absorbs it.
The Architecture of Presence
The columns.The staircases.
The Architecture of Presence
The glass towers.The shadows between buildings.
The Architecture of Presence

She simply occupies space with certainty
