Visual Essay Pause

Carolina Gamez


Pause explores the rhythms of city life: the weight of time, stress, and the feeling of being overwhelmed... but also the moments of leisure that revitalize, the pauses that disperse the noise, and the sweetness of rest that restores. It reflects on the coexistence of chaos and stillness.
