There is a certain exoticness to layers upon layers of rounded arches. Perhaps this comes from the halls of arches seen in many Islamic temples or from the masonry screens seen in the same part of the world. Whatever it is, I wanted to explore the use of this form in my project by first creating a model out of layered arches and then casting shadows to evoke the special nature of my chosen form. Through experimenting with the time of day and the orientation of the camera, I was actually surprised by the number of new forms I could create from the single model I built. There are towers, there are piles of arches; everything can be jumbled together and everything can be separated clearly. This is what I wanted to achieve with this project: to create one form that in turn could create many, many different forms.

The composition of your images is very effective. The cluster draws your eye to the center, where the larger image resides. This leaves the text with plenty of white space around it making it less presumptive and makes it more inviting to read. It reads as very clean and clear. Your emphasis on the main image is strong and is well supported by the surrounding images
