Rome

A monumental façade rises from a haze of ochres and umbers, its classical columns and pediment rendered with a purposeful imprecision that makes the building feel half-remembered rather than merely observed. Against a broad, cool expanse of blue, the architecture becomes a warm, weathered body—light grazing its edges like a slow revelation of history, while soft dissolves and smeared brushwork suggest time eroding certainty. The small sculptural figures perched high above the viewer act as quiet witnesses, implying civic grandeur that is both protective and remote. In this tension between solidity and blur, the work meditates on how institutions endure in form yet remain fragile in our perception, suspended between reverence and doubt.
