What the Cold Didn’t Take

Winter strips everything down to its essence. Color drains from the world, noise is muffled, and only the essential remains. This series was captured on one of the harshest days of the season — a day that bit at the skin, blurred the city into silence, and demanded stillness. And yet, through all that cold, something stayed intact.
What the Cold Didn’t Take is about presence in absence. It’s about the things that endure — softness, memory, defiance. Wrapped in layers that blend structure and vulnerability, the subject becomes a quiet symbol of everything the season could not erase: warmth in the eyes, color in the cheeks, the poetry of still existing.
There’s a kind of intimacy in braving the elements without losing yourself. In sitting in the snow and knowing who you are. In letting the city blur behind you while you stay clear.
The cold took many things that day. But not this.
