High Tension

 

In the photographer’s “High Tension” series, structures seem both powerful yet tenuous. The tension, highlighted against luminous skies, is palpable. Delicate yet strong with design dictated by function, these man-made structures become architectural abstractions of near beauty. His airport terminal with a mysterious black “V” formed by the negative space between two perfect shells is reminiscent of the complex Moholy-Nagy study of the abstract geometries of a factory building.
