Juan Forgia | "Freedom."
"Love and freedom come from the same place. Peace and detachment, letting nature take us where we feel one with the world. Allowing us and everything around us to flourish.
Personally I feel I don’t deserve anything, I live to serve everything I can, and by doing that, I get fulfilment, happiness, peace, enjoyment and freedom. Without having to waist time, to get money, to then trade it to ultimately get those outcomes.
I can’t stand the idea of “being” without dreaming bigger, not trying harder, or not be willing to sacrificing at least something short term for long term WINS. I’m talking about big wins, no designer fits and watches, I’m talking about freedom, peace, love, health and TIME."

Vika Lisitsyna | "1437 sokak"
"I work with photography as a way to hold on to places I love — before they disappear, or before I do.
For nine months, I lived on a small street in İzmir called 1437 Sokak. This photo book is a quiet letter to the city that held me. It’s made of everyday moments — strawberries on the street, slippers at the doorstep, a sleeping cat on a forbidden chair. Nothing grand. But full of tenderness. This is not a travelogue. It’s a record of belonging."

Lola Mirmuminova | "Lightgate"
"Captured in the streets of Seoul and Tokyo, this series traces a quiet path of light across the urban landscape, where ordinary objects become unexpected focal points. A bicycle waits in silence at the edge of a crossing, its presence amplified by a sharp fragment of light. A solitary red chair becomes a beacon in the shadows, turning absence into quiet presence. An umbrella leans against a wall, its translucent surface catching and refracting the last rays of the day. Together, these images form Lightgate — a threshold and a reminder where light itself interrupts routine and transforms the everyday into the extraordinary."
Nicolas Lado | "The void"
'“The void” gathers three film photographs made in 2019–2020 during the pandemic. Familiar street arenas appear stripped of use: a carriage without passengers, an open white field instead of a meeting place, a shop floor without goods. The absence is the subject; geometry runs to nowhere, light speaks louder than people. For my generation this pause marked a before/after: losses, months indoors, and the act of being outside turned cautious. I shot on film during rare outings — the slowness registered silence, held breath, and distance.
This work reads the city as a temporary diagram and the street as a site of memory: the marks are gone, and architecture holds their lack".

Timi O
"This is a series of paintings about those moments of life and beauty that surround us. It is enough to simply step outside and look around — what do we see? A traffic jam, or the flare of a setting sun? Dull wires, or “flying stars” in magical light? Scribbles, or a scene from the Bible? The streets in their endless motion."
Daria Omelchenko | "On the way"
"Four spaces, each a search for direction. The street ceases to be mere backdrop or scenery and becomes the central character. It mirrors the inner world of the heroine: her sense of being lost, her fear, her anxiety. The street turns into a mirror where her unspoken state quietly emerges."
Mariia Babina | "We cross, we don't meet"
"Our paths curve, overlap, and loop, but never quite touch. It’s a quiet reflection on city life, where we move alongside strangers, sharing space but rarely connecting."

Lerok (Valeriia Rudenko)
"Streets is a place of crossings. Here, glances, footsteps, and destinies meet, perhaps never to intertwine again. On my final canvas are the lines of the Japanese emperor Juntoku-in. They speak of longing for what never came to be, for a union torn apart. For me, this resonated as the very image of streets: fleeting encounters, accidental touches, the beauty of a moment that cannot be held."
Kutay Yavuz
"I'm a visual creative from Turkey, currently based in London, working primarily in photography and moving image.
My practice began during my undergraduate years and was shaped through extensive travel, where I found myself drawn to the quiet, often overlooked narratives unfolding in public spaces. I focus on urban environments and the ways individuals inhabit them — fleeting gestures, silhouettes, and moments of solitude amid crowds.
While studying History as my undergraduate degree, I developed an habit of collecting and archiving photos and videos as documents of memories. I've been particularly interested in the histories of the places I've lived and been to, drawing comparison with the current sociological and political developments. Thus, my visual works went alongside with my understanding of the past and the present. I got inspiration particularly from the impressionists, as both in my travels and the events I witnessed, my instinct was capturing what I see, the way I see them, mainly reflecting urban life."

Kseniia Inle | "Guardian"
"One day, when the other side calls you, you'll be walking down a night street alone. And you'll meet a guard. Treat him to a handful of aromatic tobacco or a candy (always carry one of these in your pocket; the city spirits need treats!). And then the way will be clear. And the street will be empty again."
