Poetry of Architecture

A photographic story by Sarah Jessica Marie Burns

Felt and captured within the Riad Berbère sanctuary

Four pieces from a wider body of work with each one measuring 30 x 38 cm

Treasured on fine art, one hundred percent cotton rag

Tranquility and stillness are present where nature and architecture live intertwined — time's ebb and flow softly altering each space in a silent yet rhythmic slow dance.

In the gentle presence of natures organic colour, each architectural detail feels beautifully present — drawing attention to each texture, each tonal shift of colour, each soft surface, and the curve of each archway. Revealing memories of the hands and hearts who gave life to this eighteenth century palace.

Sun and her gentle sunbeams poetically cast natural light indirectly, and directly as komorebi 木漏れ日 filtered light dancing through ancient knotted olive trees. Their sway is soft.

Freshly harvested seasonal oranges seem to be intentional and deliberately placed — these woven moments exist somewhere between my imagination and a humbling space of calm.
