Window and Brick

$50 – $300

Aging bricks, painted white, flake and reveal time’s quiet erosion. Centered in the frame, a lone window sits beneath streaks of grime, its glass layered with muted reflections and faded colors — a ghost of what once existed behind the pane. The ledge, darkened and worn, traces the path of years passed, each crack and shadow whispering stories of life held within and out of sight. This image captures a still, contemplative moment where decay and design meet — a portrait of endurance etched in masonry.

Printed as a museum-quality archival pigment print, this piece invites reflection on the passage of time and the mystery of unseen lives beyond the frame.
