Miro hacia arriba, aquí y ahora, y siento que el cielo comienza a jugar al escondite entre torres y torres que gritan al viento “estamos creciendo”; El vértigo me arropa y para sostenerme de ese mareo visual bajo mis ojos y aprecio los reflejos que me cuentan otra historia, observo ahora de frente y la luz me devela sus hermosas baladas del pasado. Griffintown!
Reflejos que cuentan/ Reflections that talk
Beatriz Lopez
Photographing my journey through the city every day has allowed me to develop my perception of urban everyday life where I see beauty everywhere. For me Griffintown is a kind of time capsule that exploded to make way for the future, rapidly developing into a mini-metropolis within the city. Walking it, knowing its history and seeing its contrasts fill me up with visual poetry!
I look up, here and now, and I feel that the sky begins to play hide and seek between towers and towers that shout to the wind " We are growing"; Vertigo envelops me and to support me from this visual dizziness I lower my eyes and appreciate the reflections that tell me another story, I now look straight ahead and the light unveils its beautiful ballads of the past. Griffintown!
