As early explorations of what is flat and what isn't, views of common convergent planes in architecture and infrastructure, flattened and abstracted through cropping, are brought off the wall by a box or brace - placing the flat compositions back into a three-dimensional, architectural context.

"I realized the uniformity of the sky was a key player in the flattened view and so I would often color the sky in these pieces. When I concluded this series, Convergences, I continued to explore the flattened images around me on Instagram @titan_of_leisure. Those images are unaltered and I wait for the sky to be uniform on its own."
