Streak:

Exploring Abstract Geometries

In “Streak,” Csilla Szabo ventures into the realm of abstract geometries, capturing the interplay of light and shadow as they dance across the surfaces of man-made objects. Through Szabo’s lens, ordinary scenes are transformed into mesmerizing compositions of straight lines and intersecting planes, where the original subject becomes unrecognizable, obscured by the play of light and shadow.

Ceilings, walls, metallic sculptures, lamps, fences—these are the raw materials of Szabo’s visual explorations. In each photograph, straight line patterns emerge, creating a sense of rhythm and repetition that draws the viewer into a hypnotic dance of shapes and shadows.
