Tempered Tempest
Title:Tempered Tempest
This is a personal adaptation of Homerus Gardens in Almere-Poort. Seeing the triangular balconies sticking out of the blue façade, I got the association of waves in an ocean.

Biography: Geometric patterns, rhythm and lines are driving forces in my work. What fascinates me in photography is the interplay between realistic registration and geometric abstraction. This is why I often choose to photograph (elements of) architecture. Apart from its functions (housing, office space, contemplation), architecture also has a graphical, abstract dimension which is a primary focus of my photography.
