The Skin of the City is a photographic exploration of the hidden surfaces and parts of spaces that quietly bear the marks of time, decay, and human presence.

​

Shot in black and white, this series goes beyond traditional architectural documentation – it peels back the layers of the city, revealing fragments that are often overlooked: walls, stains, cracks, and textures. These urban relics, frequently ignored or dismissed as insignificant, become visual poems, uncovering the slow transformation of space and time.

​

Through working with natural light, occasional flash, and contrasting elements, I treat these surfaces not as static objects, but as living imprints of what once was. By isolating them from their surroundings, I aim to shift perception from function to emotion, from structure to surface.

​

The images evoke a tactile experience – they suggest fragility, repetition, memory, and the quiet violence of time. Nothing is staged, yet every image feels composed: an emotional archaeology of the place, where the history of the city is written in its skin.

​

The Skin of the City invites reflection on how we read the world when the noise fades. When we stop seeing only what something is, and begin to recognize what it has become.
