The image employs an extreme black-and-white abstraction technique, transforming the concrete into the abstract and turning everyday objects into an independent artistic visual work. In the creative process, the advantages of black-and-white—simplifying complexity and reducing color and form to their essence—are used to push the visual impact of the monochrome image to its limit. Presented in an abstract form, the work explores the realms that art can reach. In this process, the refraction of light plays a magical role in shaping the visual experience.
