Piece description from the artist
During my world travels in 2010, amidst the crowd in Florence, Italy, I witnessed a serene view of Ponte Vecchio just before sunset. To capture the fluidity of the water and the play of light, I used a 15-second shutter speed, aiming to create an effect resembling an oil painting, achieved through long exposure to light.
