This photograph was taken at sunset, when shadows begin to resemble people more than people resemble themselves. The rhythmic pattern of the beams creates a visual cadence, like notes on a staff, and the blurred outlines of passersby evoke themes of transience, duality, and perception. When Shadows Walk explores the fleeting poetry of ordinary life
