Cathedrals, landmarks, and Medici estates are a common focus of visitors to Italy. In an age of pocket-sized technology and global access, the act of photographing sacred architecture has shifted from elite documentation to personal encounter.

In Sacred Space, the iPhone’s vertical panorama function becomes more than a convenience—its technology functions as a collaborator. Its computations compress towering interiors, bends geometry, and warps perspective. The result is a spatial illusion: sacred architecture interpreted by a machine, flattening grandeur into abstraction. These images are not meant to function as faithful copies—they are computational hallucinations that blur the line between reproduction, reverence, and reinterpretation.
