Grand Canal, Venice — Winter 2023
Found, not arranged.The Concept
A vaporetto stop, and the frame Venice didn’t know it was building.
A dock on the Grand Canal extends toward a Venetian palazzo, framed by two stone columns and a hanging lantern. The perspective is absolute: everything converges on that white facade, whether you asked it to or not.
This series is about looking through rather than looking at — about the frames cities build around their own beauty without meaning to. Found, not arranged.
