The birds guarded the city while we slept.

This work captures a suspended moment where the city, the night, and the sky seem to resonate with one another. In the foreground, birds appear as silent messengers, frozen between the ground and the air, while in the distance a luminous form stands out from the urban landscape, like an apparition. The precise and structured architecture serves as a backdrop for this almost mythological scene. The intense color treatment, dominated by deep blues and luminous contrasts, transforms the urban space into a nocturnal theater. Lines, reflections, and superimpositions blur the boundaries between reality and imagination, giving the city a symbolic dimension. The gaze moves between the details, inviting the viewer to recompose their own reading of the place. This photograph questions the place of living beings in the built environment and evokes the idea of signs, omens, and night watches. It appeals to collectors who are sensitive to narrative worlds, visual poetry, and works that transform the urban landscape into an open narrative. Each contemplation reveals new layers, like a story slowly unfolding in the light.
