oculus
When I was studying architecture I was always fascinated by the concept of buildings apertures, that delicate line that divide inside from outside, light from darkness, warm from cold. In architecture, the term "oculus" refers to a circular or oval opening, typically found in the ceiling or dome of a building.
Symbolically, the “oculus” can convey various meanings depending on its context and cultural significance. In ancient Roman architecture, for example, the “oculus” was often incorporated into the design of domes as a representation of the heavens or the eye of the gods.
The concept of "oculus" is applied to photography as well, and it can also extend beyond the technical aspect to encompass a more abstract or metaphorical interpretation. In this sense, "oculus" might evoke ideas of perspective, vision, or perception within the photographic context.
Through my lens, I try to frame scenes, select subjects, and manipulate light to convey my interpretation of reality. In this way, my "oculus" becomes a window through which viewers can glimpse their vision of the world.
