Photographer Angélica Gómez-Morán presents Extravíos, a photographic series published by Edge of Humanity Magazine that explores the intersection of contemporary architecture and emotional abstraction. The title, derived from the Spanish word meaning “departure from the path or rule,” reflects the artist’s conceptual intention to move away from traditional representations of reality.
In this series, Gómez-Morán transforms architectural forms into meditative compositions that convey order, solitude, and aesthetic restraint. Her minimalist approach and controlled palette emphasize geometry and balance, elevating familiar urban structures to monumental visual statements. The work shifts between tangible and imagined spaces, as several images originate from real buildings in her local environment—such as public institutions, sports centers, and private residences—while others are entirely digital creations. This duality blurs the line between physical reality and constructed imagination.
With a background in history and professional experience as a documentalist, Gómez-Morán applies the precision and structure of her academic training to her self-taught photographic practice. Her creative process emerged after a motorcycle accident in 2018, during a period of stillness that redirected her focus toward visual art. The resulting images mirror her inclination for order and schematicism, offering a body of work that merges disciplined technique with introspective artistic vision.
