"Urbanism" explores the tension between order and transformation in contemporary cities, reflecting the shift from centralized planning to decentralized, adaptive systems. Through structured grids and fluid, ink-like diffusions, the series captures the evolving dynamics of urban spaces, where rigid frameworks coexist with organic change.

The contrast between geometric precision and blurred forms symbolizes the forces shaping the city—growth, decay, renewal, and fragmentation. As boundaries dissolve, the work questions how urban environments adapt beyond fixed structures, embracing fluidity and unpredictability.

By blending computational logic with expressive abstraction, Urbanism visualizes the city as a living system—one that is constantly reshaped by time, movement, and collective experience. It invites viewers to consider how decentralization, spatial evolution, and human intervention redefine the urban fabric.
