This series explores how shifting conditions reveal the layered nature of the building — not just through glass and stone, but through metal, reflection, volume, light, and color. At Princeton’s Lewis Center for the Arts, I approached the architecture as a temporal experience. The architect’s idea — a thing within a thing — became, in my photographic reading, a thing within time. Reflections shift, colors deepen, and structural clarity dissolves into rhythm — where space unfolds not only in form, but in time.
