ABOUT

All is temporary and fleeting. Each following moment will never be the same. Everything constantly changes. Perception itself changes.
In the city bustle one can see more than just traffic, neon signs and crowds. Different weather conditions introduce life into the most mundane of places, which we usually don't notice. After a rain the face of the city changes, fog blurs its shape. It's a captured moment.

Like in the Japanese's style of mono no aware, what is perceived begets an impression of surrounding objects and patterns: compassion, empathy, sympathy directed at the object itself, the yearning of the soul for the eternal nature of things, the desire to grasp their meaning, which eludes human understanding. It's a feeling of realization that beyond the shifting world there is eternity.

Buildings naturally change over long time periods, but even a temporary weather shift can alter our perception so much, that we feel like we're in a completely different place.

Through color contrasts, ethereal outlines and forms, powerful brushstroke dynamic, we obtain the feeling of elusiveness.
