Benches from here and there: a poetic perspective
Benches are often considered as simple and ordinary furniture, but they have an important role to play in our daily life. They offer a place of rest and reflection in the hustle and bustle of the city, a place to connect with nature in parks and gardens, or a place of meeting and socialization for local communities. In this photo book, I invite you to discover a collection of captivating benches in different urban and natural environments. I have explored busy streets, historic neighborhoods, green parks and sunny beaches to capture images of unique benches that tell their own story. From the rustic elegance of wooden benches to modern metal designs, each bench is a reflection of the place where it is located and the culture of the community that created it. Through the photos, I hope to celebrate the simplicity and beauty of benches, as well as their importance for us as a place of rest, contemplation and socialization. I hope that this photo book will inspire readers to take a fresh look at the benches around them and discover their own story and importance in their community.
