Silent Junction (2025)

Silent Junction captures an eerily still street corner, mirrored to create a symmetrical void at its center. The manipulated composition forms a fortress-like structure—geometric, impenetrable, and unnervingly still. Palm trees, stop signs, and skybound power lines are duplicated across the vertical axis, suggesting both balance and surveillance. The empty road leads nowhere and everywhere, reflecting back on itself in sterile silence.

The title nods to the absence of motion, of people, of noise. This intersection becomes not a place of crossing, but of stasis. The mirrored "ALTO" signs (Spanish for "STOP") amplify the tension: movement is not only halted, it's trapped in a closed loop.

Part of Krystal Charlston’s Futurism series, Silent Junction investigates the emotional and architectural psychology of built space. Through symmetry and distortion, it questions the direction of progress, revealing how even the most familiar infrastructures can feel dislocated, alien, and surveilled when reflected back at us.
