Fabio Okamoto graduated in with a degree in Architecture from The University of Sao Paulo. His photography work is focused on urban spaces, specifically in Sao Paulo. He also work as a graphic designer developing brand identities. About this work he says, ‘With “Urban Erosion” I intend to work with the idea of painting, searching for two dimensional images, textures, graphic forms and abstract themes. The elimination of the sense of reality is important to question the photographic media and to provoke the audience with such familiar subjects. In the city, I am always looking for these issues in public spaces, ruins, abandoned outdoor areas, places where no human life can be found. To certain extent, theses subjects are considered for the majority as ugly and dirty. I just try to invert this meaning, transforming such a disgusting place into a relevant image’.
