Breath Between Seasons
From the In-between series

Freezing rain settles like a veil over the city, softening edges, blurring streets, and turning the first day of winter into a quiet dream. The figure, almost dissolving into the pale wash of light, moves through a world caught between seasons, where rain becomes ice and familiar streets turn ghostlike under the shifting sky.

Textures ripple like frost forming in mid-air, while shadows cling to the edges of unseen buildings. The scene breathes in grayscale, suspended in that fragile moment when December first reveals its cold intentions.

This is the in-between: the pause before winter claims the landscape, the hush before everything turns white, and the solitary human presence moving gently through the threshold of the season.
