Stephen Della Casa

I explore the interplay of present-day culture and politics and their connections to natural and manufactured environments. My work is based on historical patterns that resurface today. I create images offering immediate, memory-based appeal and personal reflection points. I am particularly drawn to cultural shifts—subtle changes only visible retrospectively. By being aware of these muted but pervasive transitions, I challenge perceptions of time, continuity, and how past events shape the present.

Stephen Della Casa explores cultural and social issues through conceptual and abstract photography. Influenced by his European heritage, his work prioritizes artistic interpretation over unvarnished documentation. He earned a BFA in Photography from OCADU and received the Governor General’s Award for academic excellence. With law and fine arts degrees, his research-driven projects challenge conventional narratives. He examines history’s recurring patterns, capturing imperceptible but continually changing cultural shifts and their lasting impact.
