Johanneksenkirkko stands tall beneath the crisp Helsinki sky, framed by bare trees in early spring. A Neo-Gothic landmark, this church is a defining feature of Helsinki’s silhouette and soul.

As twilight descends, the warm glow from apartment windows paints a sense of quiet intimacy in this urban residential scene. The neatly arranged modern buildings, surround a small playground that sits still under the soft light of street lamps. Though the area is calm, signs of life flicker within the homes — fairy lights, silhouettes, and cozy interiors contrast against the dramatic blue of the evening sky. The playground, untouched in this moment, hints at the presence of families and the rhythm of daily life unfolding just beyond the frame.

in the heart of avenida joan miro, where the pulse of palma de mallorca beats in a rhythm painted in hues of serenity, stand the echoes of eight houses – a chorus in blue. each facade, a stanza of its own, sings a variation of azure, as if the sky had whispered secrets into the architect's ear. the firm gras has spun a thread of continuity with each shade, crafting a visual melody that plays upon the eyes and calms the urban clamor. here, the sun casts geometric poems on the walls, a play of light and shadow that dances till dusk. in this moment captured, the ordinary is suspended, inviting passersby to ponder the artistry of variegated blues, the symphony of simplicity in this residential cadence.

"Manhattan Respite," another piece in the 'Momentum' series, illustrates a narrative of stillness amidst the cadence of city life. In the relentless forward push of New York's bustling avenues, a singular figure carves a sanctuary of silence. Her serene poise offers a stark counterpoint to the urban flux—a visual breath where time seems to pause. This image is not merely a portrayal of a hushed Manhattan thoroughfare, but a deeper homage to the quiet fortitude that anchors us in the tide of metropolitan existence. It's an ode to the individual's ability to find a moment of peace within the perpetual motion—a personal echo in the grand orchestration of the city.

Homes underneath and by the Culver Viaduct, as the G train rumbles over; breaking up the otherwise morning calm and emptiness of a random autumn morning, right after sunrise. Brooklyn; November 2016
