In a quiet public bath, a boy sits alone, facing a mural that depicts a serene, untouched landscape. Bathed in a natural beam of light, he seems to hover between two worlds—one real, tiled and silent; the other, imagined, painted and unreachable. This photograph is about the tension between presence and escape, solitude and longing. It captures a fragile moment where stillness becomes introspection, and a painted world feels more alive than the one we inhabit.
