Lumen Prize
Lumen Prize Exhibition
New York, NY. USA

Traveling international exhibit featuring my series "Collage (No) City". Six compositions, featuring hundreds of photographs, collaged into a series of six “empty portraits” of urban spaces. The series revealed each space in an otherwise unattainable state; though perfect, these are not ideal. The series creates identity issues for architecture and urban planning by calling into question their materiality, presence, and aspect.
