Drawing in Perspective
2007

A modern art installation featuring a series of black cubic frames arranged in a geometric sculpture. Each cube contains a different monochromatic image, including a red-toned cityscape, a classical painting, a sculpture of a bearded man, a blue-tinted portrait, and a photograph of a woman's face partially obscured by shadow or fabric. The overall composition is set against a white background, creating a stark contrast.
