“Parade”
In every heart lies a unique palette of colours, yet my fascination lies with the vibrant, ever-changing hues of city life. The parading crowds, perpetually in motion, resemble the unrestrained brushstrokes of flowing paint—free, bold, and uninhibited.
Photography offers the rare gift of capturing this ‘’this-has-been’’ moment, preserving it briefly before it fades into the past.
