Exhibited at FV2 Architektur Büro & Galerie, Munich.

“A woman in an exquisite yellow Sari steps out on the street, instantly catching my eye against the blue backdrop of houses.”
“The well-dressed man observes from above through a decorative arched-window, a typical Indian architectural feature called Gavaksha.”
“A worshipper spins intricate and beautiful prayer wheels at Hemis Monastery, high in the mountains of Ladakh.”
“Four zebras walk home after they finish their shifts. In an amusing attempt to illustrate the benefits of road safety to local drivers in Sucre, zebra-costumed volunteers help people cross the street.”
“Whether coincidental or not, throughout colonial Trinidad harmoniously-matched colours present themselves. The woman walking into this scene dons an orange and red headwear piece, as well as a blue-pattened dress that corresponds perfectly with the architecture and the car.”
“A gentle stream runs the length of the street, revealing colourful reflections of the houses along the cobbled street.”
“A perceived impression that a menacing figure is following behind the man as the low evening sun casts long shadows.”
“Generations of time have produced the delicate texture and colour of this ancient-old monastery door handle.”
“It is not unusual to witness livestock freely roaming the streets in India. These goats appear to have adapted to their urban habitat, perching on a window sill rather than a steep mountainside.”
