the idea

this project is rooted in the idea that unfinished moments often carry more emotional weight than resolved ones.

Goya's black paintings, left incomplete and created in isolation, became the key reference. not only visually, but conceptually. their darkness and beauty influenced both mood and composition.

the production 1

by placing my images in dialogue with Goya's paintings, i wanted to show parallels between painting and photography. the Barbican's brutalist architecture functioned as a visual metaphor for emotional distance, using negative space, repetition, and scale to express isolation.

the production 2

styling and casting were approached with imperfection in mind. dark, uniform looks referencing Antonioni's Blow-Up, the mods tailoring, and a quiet rebellion.

the choice of street casting reinforced a sense of realism and incompleteness.
