This work deals with my own images of architecture re-imagined, deconstructed, and re-observed as sculptural representations that are intended to stimulate a new dialogue about the meaning of a photographic object and architecture itself. I fold and manipulate a paper photograph to create dimensionality and to give the image new depth. Then I re-photograph the folded structures, leading to a new perception of the subject. The nature of seeing and perception, the relationship between object, space and camera have always been the central issues in my work and in this project paper takes the role of the mediator among those three components.

Architecture is first created on paper, to be then embodied into solid material. I photograph urban landscapes of Boston's periphery, bringing its mundane architecture back to paper. My photographs can prolong its life, or they can give it a new one. By making new structures out of my photographs I, perhaps, fulfill what I gave up doing as an architect. Just as Paper Architects created their utopian projects, that were never meant to be built, I build an imagined reality with an intention to bring back to the viewer the joy of looking at the things we are surrounded by and take for granted, things that are the stage sets of our lives.
