The elements in this photograph reminded me of our existence: unpredictable and surprising, while invisible elements are luring behind the different walls and doors of our life.
The chandelier is waltzing endlessly around as time is ticking everything away to the following chapters of our lives. Nevertheless, there were, are, and will always be these exceptional people who populate our lives, catch us when we fall, and embrace us with all the love in the world.
This original Accordion door in Brussels immediately sets the tone for the beautiful house one is about to enter. Indeed, by observing its lines, shapes, and materials, one understands that Art Deco is its mainstream and that originality, contrast, simplicity, and glamor will lead the dance in every corner of every room of the house.
Contrary to many architectural door designs, great importance was given to the entrance. The architect understood that the latter was not just a detail. It is one of the main elements that will awaken the first impression of its visitors. They may either love the Accordion door, or be totally indifferent to it.
Florence had an tremendous impact on me. Whenever I wandered around, my eye got caught by a magical detail.
When I visited the Riccardi Medici Palace, I felt like I had just landed in Alice in Wonderland because of its incredible door games. Indeed, one door led to a story, another to a treasure, and the third to a stunning view.
The result is this picture, which I believe, summarizes Florence. A city that will never stop surprising its visitors and whose beauty is unexpected. Because of its original and breathtaking aesthetics.
