The Structural Series
The Structural series is a celebration of the iconic Art Deco hotels that glorify Miami Beach, standing as architectural marvels in a tropical environment. These hotels, with their sleek lines, geometric patterns, and pastel hues, are not just structures; they are storytellers, whispering tales of a glamorous era from the 1920s and 1930s while mixing with the colorful energy of today’s Miami Beach.
In South Beach, the atmosphere these architectural gems create is something I adore, animating the city and transforming it into a living, breathing canvas. My layered photographs aim to capture more than just the design of these masterpieces. They delve into the life that pulses around them, with beachgoers soaking up the sun, palm trees swaying in the breeze, and the unique light that fills our skies—all set against a timeless elegant background. This is a convergence of past and present, of architecture and humanity. The Art Deco style, renowned for its exotic flora and fauna motifs, resonates naturally with Miami's vibrant colors and elements: the azure ocean, flowers punctuating the cityscape, and the golden sun casting a warm glow over everything.
Through these images, I strive to embody the spirit of South Beach, where the legacy of Art Deco dances in rhythm with the dynamism of modern time. I invite viewers to embark on this journey, to explore and feel the essence of Miami Beach, and to see the city not just as a destination but as a story of art, culture, and life itself.
