UMBRA ARBORIS

The shadow is the writing of light — its trace on the walls of Los Angeles, a city where the omnipresence of nature quietly intertwines with architecture. It explores the dialogue between light and matter, between the organic and the constructed. Los Angeles, a sprawling and horizontal city, unfolds as a grid where architecture becomes interchangeable, a surface upon which light continuously rewrites its language. Umbra Arboris offers an inventory of these ephemeral imprints — moments where shadow becomes substance and architecture becomes the support of light’s memory. In this oscillation between presence and disappearance, the city itself becomes a living organism, inhabited by time, rhythm, and the ever-shifting dialogue between nature and structure.
