Santa Teresa Graffiti
By:Kareem Negm
Artist Statement
Being an architect, I try with my photography to investigate visual dialogues within the built environment. I like to reveal understated metaphors and peel away from sculptural complexities to expose simplistic undertones.
Even the most detailed and visually intense imagery can encompass raw and simple propositions.
This is not exclusive to buildings. This can include everyday objects within our manufactured surroundings.
