Paris Sketches-1
Paris is a city of contrasts where the forces of modernization continuously reshape its landscape,
yet an unwavering dedication to preserving cultural heritage remains at its core. This delicate
balance between change and continuity is one aspect that gives Paris its enduring charm.
This image encapsulates my reflections on these themes of transformation, tradition and time captured during my daily
walks. Each photograph serves as a vignette of my journeys. Some images chronicle a single
outing, while others layer moments from multiple days. Each photograph is composed in multiple locations. For instance,
the images of Guimard’s metro entrances feature five to six different station entrances
overlaid. Interestingly, even the same subject can yield vastly different results depending on
my route and the sequence in which I came across the entrances. I wonder if this serves as a metaphor for life itself: the path we
take shapes what we see and what we recall.
