Pond lilies

Pedestrian-only public areas are some of the most beloved spots in our city. They allow everyone in the neighbourhood to come together to work, play, and rest. These places can even provide fleeting moments of inspiration like the one I captured.

Intersection

I am always drawn to silent spaces, areas close to nature where you can reset and reconnect. Spaces like this help shape a symbiotic relationship with the neighborhood, a relationship that oscillates between daily chaos and quiet gratitude.

Street views

A thriving neighbourhood is made of many layers. My favourite kind of layers are those that take time to find. These are the small diverse businesses that prepare our lunch, the niche stores that cater to a creative audience of all ages, and the hidden gems. They are the heart and personality of the neighbourhood.
