The process is not linear. Each image tests a different balance between transformation and recognition, allowing the approach to evolve through observation and experimentation.

The movement of the city and the movement of the camera meet in these images. Their interaction creates a shifting balance between what is seen and how it is perceived.

The experiment continues to explore how camera movement can produce abstraction without giving up structure, clarity, or the physical presence of the city.
