Walking through the streets near my home after a long time, I felt a strange, almost unfamiliar sensation under the snow. The city was quiet, the snow flattening its surface and softening details, as if time itself had paused. Everything seemed connected; cold, yet the darkness was whitened, and perhaps one day, it would be cleansed. For me, this frozen landscape carried a quiet hope, agentle push to keep living.

These photographs capture a moment – a state of being. During those days, the usual rhythm of life had slowed. I experienced conflicting emotions, as if time were suspended in hesitation and expectation. Photography became an instinctive response to the feelings accumulated within me.

Being present in the city and walking its streets revealed a new dimension of connection with my surroundings. Seeing, moving, and simply existing in that space made the experience tangible, and photography intertwined with the ongoing act of living.
