Watercolor on Cardboard, Styrofoam on Paper

The images presented in this artwork is a representation of different architectural styles’ elements from 13 different time periods (Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, Gothic, Byzantine, two different Renaissance architectures, Baroque, Rococo, Neoclassicism, Victorian, 19^th Century Art Nouveau and Modern Era) distinctly classified into its own timeframe, otherwise time diffraction. It uses styrofoam platform for every other two/three cardboard cutout and is pasted on a white sheet of A2 paper spray painted with black spray paint in the middle. The artwork itself uses clear and bold lines that emphasize shape and form in combination with the many different schemes of colors (prominently analogous color schemes). The light  water textured touch of brush strokes indicates emphasis in shape over color as well. It also makes use of three dimensional depth with the different diffractions and a blank white negative space. There is a clear disregard for uniform proportion in favor of different highlights of elements of architecture presented in different closeups, angles, etc.
