An unplanned journey, prompted by the urgency that certain news imposes on us and suddenly, a city I had never been to became an inevitable destination. I wandered the streets to pass the time, taking in a surprising spring. Amid the concrete, traces of life: leaves peeking through cracks, soft reflections on still water, green subtly asserting itself as a form of resistance. The silence of urban nature stood in contrast to the restlessness within. These photographs are witnesses to those days to the encounter between beauty and concern. A bridge between urgency and contemplation. And a phrase came to me, like a deeper breath: “So happy you are here.”
