Nilmini De Silva, Circles and Lines (PLACES 2022)

There are many architectural images to be had in the QVB building in Sydney but capturing them devoid of people is always a struggle. Inspired by Escher’s exploration of geometry and symmetry, I have come here just after lockdown ended. I wanted to focus the attention of the viewer on the curving staircase that takes one down several layers as well as the beautiful fine work of the stain glass window. It is an image that asks you to keep exploring, moving your eye both up and down.
