Image of Structure Featured in American Photography 34

ArtAwards
Written By Joshua Sariñana

Joshua Sariñana’s photographic series Image of Structure explores the shifting visual complexity of the Stata Center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. An image from the series was selected as a winner and published in American Photography 34, a prestigious juried annual that highlights the best contemporary photography worldwide. Recognized for its dynamic composition and exploration of architectural abstraction, Image of Structure captures the interplay of light, reflection, and form within Frank Gehry’s iconic building.

Sariñana’s work examines the impermanence of perception, using the Stata Center’s sharp angles and reflective surfaces to illustrate how environments transform throughout the day. Swaths of shadows border intense sunlight reflections, revealing a constantly evolving architectural landscape. This study aligns with his broader artistic and scientific interests in visual cognition and the ways memory interacts with changing spatial contexts.
