In “Symmetry Interrupted,” Luis R.R. Siqueira composes a near-perfect alignment of architectural precision—only to lovingly fracture it. The grand stairway of a cultural landmark rises with surgical clarity, every line and molding etched in monochrome sharpness. Regal stone lions sit in stillness, anchoring the frame with a sense of weight and order.

But it’s not a photo of stillness. It’s about the rupture.

A lone figure in a white coat and umbrella cuts across the scene diagonally, blurred into translucence by motion. Their ghostlike presence slices through the clean horizontals and verticals, bringing chaos to calm. Beneath them, the wet plaza reflects light in a geometric mosaic that adds another layer of visual contradiction—disorder beneath symmetry.

This piece is a meditation on urban tension: between the permanent and the passing, the designed and the spontaneous, the frozen and the fleeting. It is graphic design in grayscale — carved not with ink, but with light, weather, and time.
