patricia's approach to photography is immediate, direct.

her photographs are blurring the bounderies between art, architecture and design, in capturing experimental travel images, abstract cityscapesïŋ―
she has created art that envelops architecture instead of the other way round. patricia understands the value of tradition as well as the importance of pushing contemporary concepts and challenges the interplay between the two.

"our way of living today is ..
expanded, fragmented, kaleidoscopic, infinite.."
