Cathy Breen, Concrete Giants (ART & CONCEPTUAL 2025)

This image captures the intersection of stillness and motion at the LESS Pavilion, designed by Chilean architects Pezo von Ellrichshausen. The 36 concrete columns reach skyward, reflecting Canberra’s brutalist heritage. I waited for nearly an hour for the passing clouds to drift into the frame, softening the geometry and adding a sense of movement against the stillness of concrete. I then added an airplane departing from the nearby airport to introduce motion and scale to an otherwise quiet space, bringing the scene to life in a unique way.
