Each photographic assemblage starts with a camera - no AI is used. I photograph architectural shapes and forms, everyday urban objects from various angles, then reassemble them in Photoshop, creating layered scenes with breadth, depth and structure. The process is exploratory; outcomes are not predetermined but emerge through experimentation with structural relationships, form, and composition. The ancient city of Babylon existed as a historical city as well as a mythological place. My series Leaving Babylon explores this duality, blurring the line between the real and the imagined.
