This photo was taken outdoors in a Parisian neighborhood near the Moulin Rouge. It captures a fragment of a sports court, striking in its richness of color and unusual color combinations. The composition creates a sense of estrangement — only upon closer inspection do elements such as a steel door, a wall, and part of the floor become recognizable.
The aim of this work was to capture the sports court in a creative, unconventional way. Rather than a documentary image, it’s abstract and artistic. The framing turns the familiar into something unfamiliar, inviting the viewer to pause and look more closely.
For me, encountering this scene was an overwhelming moment. I instantly knew I was seeing something not everyone would notice. It energized and inspired me, and I hope that energy is reflected in the photo — encouraging others to enjoy it and let their imagination roam freely.
This work would be a great fit for a living room, bedroom, gym, or office — any space that welcomes color, energy, and a touch of wonder.
