Building a Utopia (2016-2017)

In the series of collages the diverse features of the Elephant and Castle are mixed together exploring the theme of building a Utopia, as a transformational phase for this area. The project 251 is about building a new community within a fast developing and creative area of London. The building appears as a world-in-itself, a utopian island that is however open to the world around it. Where highly organized new developments (Castle) are based on top of the creative energy of the area (Elephant). A collage technique put together urban and natural sites in digital photographs combining different layers that overlap, immerse and integrate with each other forming a bright and colourful future for this amazing part of London.
