Between the Present and the Past
Framed by the sharp lines of modernity, this fragile remnant of a former building stands awkwardly proud in Oostende, held aloft by vivid yellow supports like scaffolding for memory. I was drawn to the composition—the sheer improbability of this lonely facade caught between two monolithic neighbours. The contrast in materials, the elegant curve of the crane, and the gull drifting into frame all add tension and movement to an otherwise still scene. A photographic puzzle about what we keep, what we erase, and what we build around.
