Pixelated Ruins of Vernacular Architecture

PROJECT OVERVIEW

These works reimagine vernacular architecture through the lens of digital fragmentation. Traditional houses, courtyards, and rural landscapes are reduced to coarse halftone grids, where familiar forms dissolve into unstable patterns of black and white. The pixelated surfaces recall both the mechanical language of early digital print and the erosion of cultural memory, transforming once-living environments into fragile images that seem excavated rather than recorded.

By translating historic and everyday scenes into a matrix of broken codes, the series reflects on the tension between preservation and disappearance. The rural past is neither fully present nor entirely lost, but suspended in a state of visual ruin. These images question how architecture and collective life are remembered when mediated through technological artifacts, suggesting that what endures is not clarity but the fragmentary imprint of time.
