This architectural portrait captures the observation deck at the former Lieberose military training ground in Brandenburg. A delicate timber crown now sits upon the raw concrete of a hidden bunker, where generals once commanded manoeuvres. Through a finely graded sky and wild grass blurring the bunker’s edges, the work explores a state of limbo: the transition from a site of military authority to a space for civil reflection. Part of the 'Architecture Portraits' series, the image treats the structure as a character, allowing the echoes of its fractured history to resonate through the facade.
