Illusion of Symmetry
In this image of Berlin’s Haus der Kulturen der Welt, the organic curves of the building and the sculpture before it echo one another in silent dialogue. By emphasizing the shadowed half-circle and its mirrored reflection, the composition conjures a visual illusion of perfect symmetry — a harmony that exists only through perception. The stillness of the water transforms the scene into an abstract meditation, where architecture, art, and nature briefly align in a fleeting geometry of balance.
