I wanted to not only capture the grandeur of Gothic architecture, but also to highlight the minute details and beauty in its often overlooked intricacies and craftsmanship. Inveniret Libertatem shows my journey to find beauty in places people often overlook. It highlights the amazing things that are waiting to be discovered in Gothic buildings and encourages people to look to find fascinating things. I hope my work shows my love for architecture and helps the audience appreciate the beauty of long-forgotten architecture.
