This black and white image immerses us in the historic architecture of Hoi An, the jewel of central Vietnam and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The old colonnaded buildings, weathered tiled roofs and weathered facades tell the story of a prosperous port, once the crossroads of Asian trade. Black and white intensifies the textures: carved wood, cracked walls, closed shutters, creating an atmosphere that is both solemn and poetic.
Every detail reflects Hoi An's unique cultural mix, where Chinese, Japanese and French influences intertwine in the lines of the buildings. The absence of colour allows an emotional reading of the image: between silence, remembrance and contemplation. It's a plunge into the past, a suspended moment when the city seems to hold its breath.
Photographed from this timeless angle, Hoi An reveals its hidden soul, its discreet nobility, its aged elegance. An invitation to slow down, observe and feel what the stones have been whispering for centuries.
