“Concrete Reflections” is a photographic exploration of the hidden layers of meaning within the urban landscape, framed by the concept of hyperobjects, as introduced by philosopher Timothy Morton. Hyperobjects are vast, interconnected forces—such as climate change, time, or pollution—that shape our world but remain largely invisible, operating on scales far beyond human perception. This series delves into familiar city objects—buildings, sidewalks, signs, and structures—uncovering the subtle narratives they hold, shaped by these immense forces.

Through reflections, textures, and overlooked details, “Concrete Reflections” invites viewers to engage with the cityscape not just as a collection of static objects, but as entities constantly interacting with larger, imperceptible forces. The series challenges us to see the influence of hyperobjects in the mundane, where everyday urban elements become metaphors for time’s passage, human interaction, and environmental impact. Each photograph captures how these objects, though seemingly unchanging, are marked by decay, transformation, and the weight of history, all of which are manifestations of hyperobjects.

As Morton explains, hyperobjects transcend the human scale and yet permeate every aspect of existence. “Concrete Reflections” captures this idea visually, showing how the most familiar urban elements are quietly shaped by vast forces, prompting us to reflect on the unseen systems that govern and transform our environments. Through this lens, the series redefines how we see the city, encouraging us to look beyond the surface to uncover the layers of meaning embedded in its everyday structures.
