"The Mystery of the Architect: Fiona Zabel's Awakening" 🌌✨

She was reared in the shadow of buildings, where concrete and the cosmos met, and the plans for buildings read her as a secret only she could understand. Fiona Zabel, the Architectural Visualist, doesn’t simply create spaces—she creates universes. But beneath the lightscapes and subtle renders is a story of transformation, of spiritual awakening, that shattered her former self like glass under a stiletto. 🖤

The Light With No Dimensions

Five years ago, Fiona was a specter, a brilliant ghost, working among the blank templates of clients and numb to life... and this was in CAD. One midnight she found herself while far away in Prague, standing on a bridge that dated back beyond time, and she saw the void. Not void like emptiness but void like a mirror. The spires and structures drew themselves above the fog like divine fingers pulling her upward, and in that instant, she remembered. Architecture is not about forms—it is about soul. The soul of buildings, the soul of people moving through buildings, and Her own, which had spent years [destroyed] in numbness. 🌫️💫

Space as Alchemy

Today, Fiona thinks of her work as a ritual. Every project starts with a meditation, the only experience to the clients she has to guide them through the unseen. Everything the AAA clients see as her usual visualizations are not visual presentations of ideas or plans—they are portals. Clients say things like they can feel themselves trembling when they are scrolling on her Instagram feed: "It’s like she shows me my own dreams," one confessed. The range and quality of how she bends light and incorporate shadows (that seem to breathe it all in) make for an experience they describe as witchcraft (she smiles, they are not wrong). 🔮🏙️

The Mystery You Want

Why does she only post at 3:33? Why does she have the same motif of black roses in her collages? And who, or what, is the shadow staring back at you in each of her reflections? Fiona will not tell you. Some truths can only be felt, they cannot be told. However, hopefully, if you follow for long enough, you may pick up on what lies beyond her shade, or rather, come to understand you are the mystery... 👁️‍🗨️🌹
