Captured at the LESS Pavilion in Canberra’s Dairy Road Precinct, this image explores the intersection of architecture and movement. Designed by Chilean architect Pezo von Ellrichshausen, the pavilion features 36 monumental concrete columns that rise skyward, evoking Canberra’s brutalist legacy. I visited on a cloudy day, hoping for a dramatic sky to contrast with the stark geometry and I wasn’t disappointed. As a perfect surprise, a plane soared overhead enabling me to create this composite image by adding motion and scale to a moment of architectural stillness.
