Paris/France, 2018

Digital format

March 19, 2018, was the last day of winter, undoubtedly the harshest winter I had seen in the last 15 years living in Europe. The next day, spring was officially beginning, and the cherry trees in the park next to my house showed their first blossoms. They are my favorite trees, and I eagerly await their bloom.

But on the 19th, the day awoke to a surreal snowstorm. Paris was completely white again, but this time it covered the colors of the first flowers that had bloomed. It was the beauty of two seasons overflowing, in a strong yet delicate encounter. Symbolizing the ephemeral coexistence of these two seasons. The minimalist and contrasting composition evokes tranquility, introspection, and a deep appreciation for the natural and conflicting cycles of life.
