Laura Crimmins, Stillness Beneath the Surface (CREATIVE 2025)

Captured while walking the streets of Melbourne near Southern Cross Station, this image reveals the beauty in decay, a cracked, weathered surface that quietly reflects the world around it. In the midst of movement and chaos, I was drawn to this moment of stillness. The fractured lines and peeling layers echo the textures of urban life, reminding us that even in the ordinary, there is form, story, and simplicity worth noticing.
