This series is based on the network of tunnels in downtown of Houston. “Underground” is a system of tunnels 20 feet below Houston’s downtown streets and more than 6 miles long. Having started out years ago as a tunnel between two downtown movie theaters, today it includes restaurants and service retail and connects 95 city blocks. Main goal is to show how tunnels have become a tool of convenience where people opt for it than being outside, irrespective of the weather. Moreover, how it creates numerous patterns with light and shadow that is reminiscent of German expressionism of the 30s like “the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari”, which in turn means form and shadows with minimal detail that leaves message of the image of the imagination if the viewer. I would like close the statement with a quote of Emma Watson, “the less you can reveal the more people wonder”.
