MARKS OF POWER

This photographic project explores the symbolic value of urban artifacts, which appear to the observer not as mere constructions, but as true landmarks capable of transcending time, space, and oblivion.

Through a visual dialogue between buildings from different eras, it traces an ideal thread linking humanity’s greatest aspirations: from carved stone to glass and steel, from the worship of the divine to the conquest of the skies. These structures are not just architecture, but marks etched into our collective memory—emblems of power and silent beacons guiding entire civilizations.

Emerging from the surrounding shadows, they stand as immortal witnesses, bridges between past and future, between aspiration and identity, between who we were and who we dream of becoming.
