Our Story

Urban Reflections commenced as a personal collection, comprising moments observed during walks and details captured between destinations. With time, these fragments evolved into a more substantial practice: a methodical and attentive approach.

Our objective is not to define art or architecture. We simply share how these spaces feel when experienced slowly, without expectation.

This project is not about conclusions. It is important to maintain your focus and continue to look, even when initial results seem to be non-existent.

The Philosophy of Observation

In an age of accelerating pace and incessant activity, moments of calm and quiet become a radical departure.
We believe that quiet details, such as lines, textures and the way in which light moves across a surface, are of significance. These elements often go unnoticed, yet they significantly influence our perception of a space.

Our approach is straightforward: we recommend slowing down, conducting thorough investigations, and refraining from offering extensive explanations.
Observation, for us, means being present and taking in our surroundings.

Behind the Lens

Our work begins without a plan. The majority of our footage is captured during walks — through unfamiliar corridors, quiet galleries or open corridors. There is no script or list of shots.

On occasion, it manifests as a shadow. In some cases, the issue may relate to an alignment, a colour, or a forgotten corner. We are meticulous in our approach. We are currently awaiting further information. When the opportune moment arises, we simply depress the shutter button.

Our Journey So Far

Please find below a list of key moments that have shaped our path:

[2019] First Reflection

A single photograph taken during a rainy afternoon walk marked the beginning of a significant project.

[2021] Observations Shared

The transition from a private collection to a public journal was a gradual process, undertaken with care and deliberation, and without undue pressure.

[2024] Space Beyond the Frame

We will now continue exploring. I would like to take a moment to consider the following question: what do we notice when we truly look?

Join the Reflection

We are not establishing a movement. There is no overarching concept. We are a group of people who have chosen to slow down and look around. Perhaps you, too, would like to join us.

If this resonates with you, you are already part of it. There is no need to sign up to belong — simply take a moment, breathe, and notice.
