el balcón [the balcony]
2023
A personal photography project documenting balcony life in Barcelona, Spain.
It’s really interesting to me to see how people take advantage of their outdoor space - something commonplace in Spanish apartment architecture, that myself and other New Yorkers view as a luxury. Balconies are used for bike storage and plants, but also for haircuts and play places for kids. I went on a lot of walks in different neighborhoods to explore them.
As an artist this was an exercise for me in complex composition and natural light/shadow, but also in mindfulness (and light stalking).
