Lisbon

Lisbon is built around the recognizable form of the city’s yellow trams, but the urban scene is gradually absorbed into a pale mineral field. Buildings, tracks, overhead wires, and street surfaces remain visible in fragments, while white, yellow, and gray layers soften their edges and interrupt ordinary perspective.

The larger tram anchors the composition, yet it does not stand apart from its surroundings. Its body, windows, and color begin to merge with the textured surface, while the smaller tram behind it extends the sense of depth and movement through the city.

Within Mineral City, Lisbon explores how a familiar urban image can remain legible while losing its fixed boundaries. The work moves between representation and abstraction without allowing either to take control. The city is still present, but it appears filtered through light, erosion, and accumulated surface, as though recognition itself were slowly being dissolved within a changing urban memory.
