The reflection in the glass window of the White Shirt shop is the Grand Venetian church located directly behind Lev. The piece is built around a true anecdote: a local man tapped Lev's shoulder, sternly telling him in Italian that he was "pointing his camera in the wrong direction." Stripped of color, the work highlights the irony and the reality: in the precise geometry of the reflection, you can see both the imposing church and the fleeting shadow of the man walking past, validating that the most interesting compositions are born of two worlds, the tangible and the ephemeral.
In this collection, Lev strips away color to reveal the pure essence of form, light, and feeling; forcing the viewer into a more intense engagement with the image. By removing the distraction of color, the work compels a focus on the fundamental visual elements: texture, line, and composition. From the sharp, decisive angles of Prow to the quiet, complex contemplation of Middle Age Zen, the works distill subjects down to their core architectural and emotional truths.
These black and white images feel both timeless and profoundly simple, appearing in stark contrast to the overwhelming, colorful density of our daily lives, creating a powerful tension that demands and rewards prolonged attention. This contrast makes the subtle details of light and shadow become the central subjects, revealing a depth and psychological complexity often obscured by color.
