The core of this series of works is a quiet dialogue between me and the city. It does not have a grand narrative nor does it pursue dazzling composition. Instead, it brings the camera close to those corners that are usually regarded as "meaningless" and insignificant. I use gray tones as the overall visual vocabulary, not to create a cold atmosphere, but to let the colors step back and let texture, structure and lines take center stage in the picture. For me, gray is a kind of distance. It makes the world quiet and hides emotions beneath the surface. Without strong color temperature fluctuations, the viewer's attention truly falls on those "ignored languages": the tiny cracks in the brick joints, the subtle gradients of light on the rough walls, and the hidden sense of order in the abandoned areas. These photos are deeply influenced by Aaron Siskind.
