In this photograph titled ""Benches": bench under a porch in Istanbul". Filiberto Pittini transports us to the bustling streets of Turkey's vibrant city. The image captures a moment frozen in time, dating back to 1988, where an enchanting park bench rests peacefully beneath a grand porch. The composition is strikingly simple yet evokes a sense of intrigue and curiosity. The weathered wooden bench stands as a testament to the passage of time, its surface etched with stories untold. It beckons weary travelers and locals alike, offering respite from the urban chaos that surrounds it. As our gaze shifts upwards, we are greeted by the architectural marvels that define Istanbul's skyline. A majestic column rises proudly beside the bench, symbolizing strength and endurance amidst ever-changing times. The intricate details adorning the building elements showcase the rich history and cultural heritage embedded within every corner of this ancient city. Pittini masterfully captures not only physical structures but also intangible emotions through his lens. The open gallery above creates an illusion of depth, inviting us to explore beyond what meets the eye. We can almost hear echoes of conversations carried by gentle breezes or witness fleeting moments shared between passersby. This photograph serves as a reminder that even in bustling metropolises like Istanbul, spaces for contemplation and connection exist amidst concrete jungles. Benches become more than mere pieces of furniture; they transform into witnesses to human experiences – laughter shared among friends or quiet introspection during solitary walks. Through Pittini's lens, we are transported across continents and decades into an intimate encounter with everyday beauty hidden within our surroundings. This print encapsulates both timeless elegance and transient fragility – an invitation to pause, reflect, and appreciate life's simplest pleasures found on benches under porches in distant lands like Istanbul.
