In this fine art photograph and collage, a cut-out strip runs across blossoming foliage, revealing a black-and-white urban scene. The fragment, framed by a golden line that also outlines a female silhouette, becomes a suspended window between natural present and architectural past. French visual artist Frédérique Stern suggests a sidelong glance—a memory that doesn’t erupt but gently lingers. The female figure, lying silently among branches and buildings, evokes layered time, where the old and the living coexist as a lasting imprint.
