Your part is to be serene, to be simple"Marcus Aurelius, P69, 261These images of urban surroundings aim to convey mood and atmosphere alluring to spirituality. The city location has reference to materialistic modern values devoid of real sense of worth, and places this project's message in contemporary society. The setting also addresses negative (both visual and social) stereotypes of such areas. By simplifying subject matter into abstract forms, these pieces aim to create peaceful, calm and ethereal compositions. Marcus Aurelius' Meditations has largely influenced the photographs, and text from this book also accompanies the images in its final resolve.1amybartlamphotography@hotmail.com1http://www.myspace.com/amybartlamphotography107970 699680112baramy1.jpgbaramy1.xml#pagedown332500
