This body of work explores abstraction as a response to winter conditions in the city. During the colder months, light flattens, colour recedes, and detail softens. Rather than resisting these limitations, I work within them—allowing motion, atmosphere, and presence to replace description as the primary visual language.
These photographs are not about documenting events or individuals, but about registering what remains when clarity gives way to transition. Figures appear as traces rather than subjects. The city becomes a field of movement rather than a collection of fixed forms. Earth-toned colour plays a central role, retaining warmth and emotional accessibility while maintaining restraint. It grounds the abstraction in lived experience, resisting both spectacle and detachment.
This work is intentionally seasonal. I pursue abstraction primarily in winter, when the environment’s visual character aligns with this approach. Outside of that window, other photographic practices take precedence. This constraint is not a limitation, but a structure—one that allows each body of work to exist on its own terms.
Together, these images form a quiet study of motion, presence, and impermanence within the urban landscape.
