This image illustrates all the colourful poetry of Hoi An, Vietnam. The bright yellow facade first catches the eye, highlighting the shutters and door painted an intense blue, all carefully closed. In contrast to the sobriety of the architecture, a cascade of pink bougainvillea falls elegantly from the roof, adding a touch of natural lightness to the scene.
Suspended beneath the flowers, red, yellow and blue lanterns gently dance in the air, bearing witness to a decorative tradition that is very much alive in this UNESCO World Heritage city. The padlock on the central door evokes a pause, a moment of calm between two moments of life.
The composition is both lively and peaceful, a silent tribute to the harmony of colour and form in Vietnamese urban space. This façade tells a story, the story of a typical Hoi An house, where nature, culture and aesthetics meet with elegance. An image that embodies the simple, warm beauty of traditional Vietnam.
Passionate about photography, I travel the world in search of the most beautiful shots.
