Granite Oasis

“Granite Oasis” captures an unexpected beauty in the simplest of forms—a circle of granite stones resting in the shallow embrace of rain. To most, it was just part of the pavement, unnoticed and overlooked. But to me, it was an invitation, a surprising opportunity to find art where others see the ordinary. This shot still shocks me, a reminder of how my eye seems drawn to the unseen and to think beyond the usual. On that rainy day, as others walked by without a second glance, I saw textures and patterns converging in this small space, creating an oasis of contrast amongst the grey. The damp stones, with their earthy tones and clustered forms, seem to breathe life into the concrete. This shot captures not just a moment but a way of seeing, a testament to finding art in the most unexpected places.
