Hackney Depot Photograph - Limited Edition of 31

The name of the series, "Tenet," is a palindrome, similar to palindromic numbers, as it can be read the same forwards and backwards. One of the key concepts explored in this series is symmetry, a fundamental principle in mathematics that refers to a balanced and harmonious arrangement of parts or elements. In the series, Aleks showcases London areas, some of which have been abandoned while others remain occupied. Nevertheless, there is an evident connection to the presence of humans. Aleks aims to position the viewer as an impartial observer, providing a perspective on the suburban landscape. These are not exotic or unique landscapes but common areas around the city. The series contemplates the calm and harmony of these locations by playing with symmetry, composition, and colour balance. One of the intentions was to find such balance in areas that may initially appear devoid of harmony. The amalgamation of cultures and generations evokes the image of an old rustic door, painted over for decades and now abandoned, revealing a mixture of colours. While the series' beauty may lull the viewer's vigilance, its purpose is to draw attention to the deeper problems of urban development and its environmental impact.
