In Subframe Street, layered boundaries form a visual exploration of how we perceive and interpret space. Through nested compositions, this work explores the relationship between seeing and understanding the visual world. Each image constructs its own universe of layered thresholds, inviting viewers to consider how frames shape their engagement with reality.

The series positions the frame not just as a physical border, but as an active agent in creating meaning. These visual demarcations function as both container and portal—simultaneously isolating elements while connecting disparate spaces. Light plays across surfaces, shadows deepen recesses, and perspective shifts within each nested scene. Through this interplay, the boundaries themselves become symbolic, speaking to broader questions of perception and interpretation.

By emphasizing the structures that influence what we see, Subframe Street reveals perception as an active rather than passive process. The nested layers shape how we move through and respond to each scene. In each image, some spaces press forward while others fall back, drawing the eye along unexpected paths. Shadows, edges, and overlapping forms guide how we move through the frame, creating moments of discovery. Understanding arises not from explanation but from noticing these interactions, from pausing on what the frame emphasizes and what it leaves hidden. Subframe Street shows that perception unfolds in the act of looking itself.
