Water in the city

Photography allows us to stage water in the city in a way that differs from our daily life. It becomes possible, for example, to represent water in ways we do not naturally perceive it, to freeze its movement, to focus on its light reflections, or to isolate its droplets after the rain.
This series of photographs presents new perspectives on water in the city, aiming to observe it differently in our daily experiences, to see it in all its forms, perhaps as we have never seen it before: gentle, violent, fragile, dazzling, and to pay close attention and bring a fresh perspective to its presence.
