The still Untitled project comes from artist Kowalski personal need to change the world, to show how the city of Rome has changed over the decades and how it’s grown into an incredibly busy and complex metropolis. Each image consists of 3 to 5 photographs taken at different times and representing different architectural periods. Put together, they fall into places, dance with each other in an unexpectedly symbiotic way, co-existing in the mosaic of shapes and colors, symbolizing strength, diversification and synergy of the Rome as we know it today.
I feel that this project highlights an important fact that is often forgotten in current times: Your past makes you what you are today. The deliberate overlapping of multiple photos of the same subject at different times not only makes the photo more interesting but it also shows the process of change that makes the landscape what it is today. Everyday something changes about a person or an environment but not many people take notice until after a long period of time has passed. The compilation of photos show us what we could have missed everyday, every moment. We spend so much time focusing on material needs and never took the time to see the changes happening around us.
