Glass Blades
by Davide Terrile
Blades of glass and concrete cleave a white sky, mirroring each other in a dialogue of distorted reflections. At their feet, life unfolds on an infinitesimal scale, a distant echo in the monumental quiet. It is a vertical landscape that redefines space and the horizon.
The very fast shutter speed (1/1250s) and f/2.8 aperture are functional for managing intense light, overexposing the sky until it becomes a white, empty surface. This choice isolates the architectures, emphasizing their monumentality and their nature as pure graphic signs.
