**ESSENTIA XVIII**

_2026_

ESSENTIA XVIII depicts a symmetrical architectural threshold defined by water, light, and silence. Two opposing structures frame a central pool that functions as a reflective axis, drawing the gaze toward the horizon where architecture dissolves into sea and sky.

The presence of the spherical form introduces a quiet tension between geometry and softness, permanence and transience. Water, rendered as both surface and depth, becomes a mediator—absorbing light, distorting form, and suspending time. The submerged platform suggests a space designed for pause rather than use, contemplation rather than action.

Within the ESSENTIA series, this work explores post-human architecture as a state of balance: spaces constructed by human intention yet emptied of human presence. What remains is an environment shaped by order, calm, and memory—an invitation to reflect on how architecture endures as a silent witness once its inhabitants have withdrawn.

**ESSENTIA XV**

_2025_

ESSENTIA XV presents a suspended architectural scene overlooking the sea, where domestic traces persist in the absence of human presence. The clothesline, carrying garments moved only by air and light, becomes a quiet marker of life once lived, now reduced to gesture and residue.

Architecture here is not monumental but intimate—defined by clean planes, open horizons, and reflective water that dissolves the boundary between built space and natural infinity. The sea functions as both backdrop and extension, absorbing the structure into a wider field of time and continuity.

Within the ESSENTIA series, this work reflects on post-human landscapes shaped by daily rituals rather than grand narratives. The image invites contemplation of how minimal actions—drying clothes, inhabiting space, pausing—leave lasting imprints on environments that continue to exist beyond us.

**ESSENTIA XIV**

_2025_

ESSENTIA XIV explores architecture as a silent container of memory and human presence. The work presents a constructed space suspended between order and fragility, where geometric forms and reflective water coexist in a state of controlled stillness.

The absence of the human figure is intentional: the space itself becomes the protagonist, shaped by what remains rather than by what is shown. Light and reflection act as structuring elements, dissolving boundaries between interior and exterior, permanence and transition.

As part of the ESSENTIA series, this piece investigates post-human architectural landscapes—places designed by humans that persist beyond them, transformed into spaces of contemplation, balance, and quiet tension. The work invites the viewer to inhabit the image mentally, questioning how architecture preserves traces of life even when life is no longer visible.
