An Elegy for Saint Boniface
Date: 2011
Geography: Noble Square, West Town, Chicago, IL, USA
An entryway to the upper floor stands like a forgotten sentinel, its once grand purpose now surrendered to the passage of time. The walls, bathed in an ethereal dark blue, whisper tales of a vibrant past, their color deepening as it absorbs the scarcity of light. The fading hues imbue a sense of mystery and melancholy, reminding the viewer of the church’s dormant majesty.
Slivers of light daringly pierce the sanctuary's gloom, their beams piercing the darkness in a valiant effort to reclaim the space. This soft illumination draws the eye upwards, subtly hinting at the magnificence that lies beyond. The scene marries melancholy and beauty, a testament to the church's resilient spirit, capturing a poignant moment in the narrative of this once hallowed and still beautiful architectural masterpiece.
