The buildings captured in Leopold’s work are abandoned structures, though still magnificent in their decrepitude. She captures the poetry of decay found in once proud buildings slowly being reclaimed by time. When seen from a single position the sculptures appear static, but the viewer’s movement makes them come alive. The illusion of space is achieved by imbedding photographs into sculptural forms lined with mirrors. The work acknowledges how human interaction personalizes architecture, but people rarely appear in these pieces. Rather, the fractured panoramas evoke the past use of the buildings, allowing viewers to create their own narratives through memory and personal associations.
