The Structural Series
The Structural series is a celebration of the iconic Art Deco hotels that glorify Miami Beach, standing as architectural marvels amongst the vibrant, lush tropical environment. These hotels, with their sleek lines, geometric patterns, and pastel hues, are not only structures; they are living symbols of the Art Deco era, a design movement from the 1920s and 1930s, that speak of a bygone time of glamour and sophistication.
My layered photographs aim to capture more than just the design of these masterpieces. They delve into the bustling life that pulses around them. Miami Beach is not just a place, but a lively melting pot of diverse and colorful people, all surrounded by the effervescence of nature. The Art Deco style, renowned for its exotic flora and fauna motifs, resonates naturally with Miami's vibrant colors and elements - the azure ocean, palm trees swaying in the warm breeze, flowers punctuating the cityscape, and the golden sun casting a soft, warm glow over everything. Through these images, I strive to convey the unique energy and beauty of Miami Beach, a place where the legacy of Art Deco moves in rhythm with the pulse of life and the splendor of the tropical environment.
I invite the viewers to embark on this journey. To explore and feel the tropical vibe of Miami, and to see the city not just as a destination, but as a living, breathing story of art, culture, and life itself.
