The Shadows of the City: Chasing Irreal Order I explore the "irreal" order found in the city’s fragmentary structures. Through the interplay of light and shadow, I perceive the hidden essence of pillars and overpasses anew. Beyond the concrete exterior lies an inner realm of darkness that bridges my unconscious with the urban landscape. When natural light disrupts the rational city, truth and fiction coexist. My photography chases these shadows—riddles of time—through the persistent trace of light.
