Lisbon

Lisbon appears at the moment when the physical city begins to dissolve into light. Streets, buildings, vehicles, and the yellow tram remain recognizable, yet their boundaries gradually lose definition. The tram anchors the foreground as a tangible fragment of the city, while the architecture beyond it becomes increasingly unstable and begins to disappear into the luminous central field.

The yellow of the tram spreads into the surrounding pavement, atmosphere, and reflected light, connecting object, street, and space within the same visual field. At the same time, pale greens, ochres, and softened architectural traces move across the image, creating a gradual transition from physical presence toward dissolution. The city is still unmistakably Lisbon, but its material certainty is no longer secure.

Rather than depicting a place after transformation, the work holds Lisbon within the transformation itself. Concrete urban elements remain visible while simultaneously being absorbed into light, color, and texture. The result is a city suspended between physical reality and another state, where architecture, movement, atmosphere, and memory begin to occupy the same unstable space.
