The Art of Entry
Have you ever considered how much an entrance can say about a building?
I'm not talking about those automatic sliding doors at shopping malls, but real entrances—the kind that make you wonder if you're about to step into a building or another dimension.
That's exactly what I aimed to capture with my series of images.
Each image is an invitation to ponder what's beyond: a heavy, weathered door with years of untold stories; a threshold that seems to dare you to enter; an entrance that looks at you with a judgmental air, like an old aunt at a family dinner. And then there are those that look straight out of a film noir set, where you half expect to see a detective in a trench coat and fedora.

The point is, these shots aren't just images of doors and entrances. They're little manifestos of character, personality, and, dare I say, humor. Each shot is a story that starts the moment you stop to look, wondering who lives there, who works there, or who's just passing by.
So, next time you walk past an entrance, take a moment. There might be more there than you think. Or maybe, like in one of my shots, you'll just laugh at the absurdity of a door too big for a building that's too small. Or vice versa.
