This series explores the stillness in moments of life. Whether the face of the subjects is hidden or exposed, the thoughts and mindset of the people are indistinguishable; leaving an existential, personal experience. The moments capture a sense of reflection or meditation in the ever sped up environments around us. The vivid colors and shadows let the eye explore the gestures of the subjects shown.
