The Passing Shadow
A candid moment captured in front of the Pazh Commercial Center in Mashhad, Iran. The image juxtaposes the sharp, rigid geometry of modern architecture with the fleeting, blurred silhouette of a passerby. This contrast symbolizes the transient nature of human life amidst the permanence of the city's concrete structures.
