oma2 from the series Meaningless. I intend to use my artworks to relax people's pressure. This series of photos are taken in San Francisco. The subject in these pictures are the details of architecture. Modern buildings have grown tremendously with the growth of population, and people's pressure comes from the pressure of life, so I think modern architecture has an inseparable relationship with people's pressure. Therefore, I want to remind people the most beautiful thing is around us.

Steel Life: the privateers crew. Far east. Steel foundries. Life here has a circular flow, in the morning the workers get up early, there are those who prepare meals for the others in turn. The shifts begin and the men are all busy demolishing old shipwrecks coming from all over the world, the metal is cut, worked, melted and again transformed. Only the metal here changes life, not these men, they are always here, every day. Every day until the evening, until the siren sounds the arrival of sunset.

City Center Las Vegas, NV, USA Part of the ongoing series Urban Geometry Buildings and structures are fascinating to me, in particular, modern and contemporary designs. Exploring a building from all possible angles of view and finding the parts of the structure which lead to another layer of abstraction is what I am seeking visually. To do so it is often necessary to give space and put things into a reductive perspective.

Wall of Light, Osaka. This wall of light is in Osaka, Japan. It is the facade of a giant pachinko parlour. I discovered it late one night as I was looking for the Groovy Bar in the Nishinari Ward of Osaka. I spent 4 cold nights waiting patiently for passing pedestrians to walk into the photographs. After every session I rewarded myself by making my way on to the Groovy Bar for a feed of funk, blues and beer . . .

Diagonale perdue from the series Body geometry A series in black and white, ethereal, in which the body becomes abstraction, a fragmented, transformed mass, depicted only by way of a play of lines, curves, folds, shadows. Here the elusive and delicate body takes on a whole new dimension, leading the eye into a geometry of the flesh. A series in square format to force the simplicity of the look and widen the field of vision in an ideal geometry.

Cleaning Time. A front face photo for the Museum of Islamic art in early morning, actually it was my first image for this year (2020) since the covid 19 situation started , we were not allowed to go out all the time , so as a photographer it was hard time to me to stay far away from photography, so when finally the authority of health permitted us to go out , I took my camera and I walk around my place near by my home and I found these workers starting an early morning working to wash the building of the Museum Of Islamic Art , I really liked the composition of the architecture shapes on it, and how they are layered on top of each other which it make it a great image to be photographed.
