Future History
The “Future History” series of architectural photos depicts the inner and outer worlds of Daniel Libeskind’s sculptural composition of crystalline forms that is the modernized Royal Ontario Museum (ROM). The photos represent the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal and Stairs of Wonder in the paused enlightenment of a photographer’s vision and the contemplative silence found in the shadows of the architecture itself. Each photo refers to a concept of imagining or envisioning the future through prediction, possibility, paradox, perception, and prescience.
