A Fashionable Neighborhood
The images in this photographic project capture the essence of 26 unassuming low-rise walk-up apartment buildings in Honolulu, constructed during the city's post-World War II Modern period from 1947 to 1967. Rendered in striking black and white, these images emphasize deep tonal contrasts, dramatic shadows, and geometric purity, distilling each structure to its core forms, proportions, and rhythms. Photographed during the COVID-19 lockdown, the series also evokes the era's psychological tension, portraying isolated communities within these optimistic postwar designs now shadowed by fragility, watchfulness, and quiet erosion.
