"Architecture is the reaching out for the light."
This work is part of a premier diptych dedicated to the masters of Modernism. It explores the profound relationship between structure and spirit, capturing the soul of 20th-century architectural icons through the transformative lens of alchemy.
The Architectural Dialogue: While this piece stands powerful on its own, it is designed as a companion to its sister work. Together, Louis Kahn (Salk Institute) and Jørn Utzon (Opera House) create a visual symphony: the monolithic, silent symmetry of Kahn’s concrete meeting the organic, rhythmic dynamism of Utzon’s sails.
A Play of Volumes: The two works feature complementary depths—2 cm for the Kahn piece and 3 cm for the Utzon piece. When displayed together, this subtle difference in thickness creates a sophisticated relief effect on the wall, emphasizing the structural "weight" of the Salk Institute and the "lifting" energy of the Opera House sails.
The Alchemical Process: Created on a solid wooden panel using Alchemical Pictography, the image is not merely depicted but "fossilized" into the substrate. Using pure earth pigments, metallic oxides, and egg albumin as a natural binder, the work is fixed by direct sunlight. This ancient process creates a mineral texture that echoes the raw materials of the buildings themselves—stone, light, and time.
