Cat Marchese - Citybonez

I've always been fascinated by wilder environments, forsaken institutions, deserted cities, and urban decay. The structural remains of these once elaborate and peopled places - their ghostly bones - are as intriguing to me as their shed historical skin. Through my lens, I seek to unveil the hidden stories and beauty within bygone objects, inspiring wonder, appreciation, and admiration in those who view my work. Citybonez ™ , my photography trademark, captures the splendour of our collective architectural heritage. My historical brick photography pays homage to the past while prompting viewers to consider the impact of human activity on the environment. Each unique, limited-edition piece tells a story, inviting us to appreciate the grace and significance of our collective heritage.
