Thesis
Every elevation begins with physical loads: mass distribution, isometric angles, and spatial volume. The resulting paintings strip ornamentation to expose the underlying architectural equilibrium.
Three architectural inquiries
Each body of work investigates distinct structural frameworks, examining modern brutalist modularity, Byzantine dome geometries, and ancient Mesopotamian monumentality.

Deconstructing modern Canadian landmarks, from the modular cantilevered concrete volumes of Habitat 67 to the vertical tension of the CN Tower.
Analyzing Byzantine and Ottoman structural density through intersecting dome elevations, pendentives, and the vertical masonry rhythm of the Galata district.
Investigating ancient Mesopotamian monumental mass through orthogonal planar studies of the Ishtar Gate and the tiered ziggurat foundations.
