In the bus 2016

Alfred Freddy Krupa made this photograph, "In the bus," capturing a moment, an atmosphere. The palette here is stark, just black and white, but it's not about precision. It's about feeling. There’s a blur here, a sense of fleeting movement, like memory itself. Look at the window, how the outside world bleeds into the inside. You can almost feel the chill of the glass, see the condensation blurring the view. It reminds me of early Gerhard Richter, how he used blur to evoke the unreliability of images. That smear becomes a kind of meditation on seeing itself. The composition is simple. It emphasizes the play of light and shadow, the way the world appears and disappears. It's as if Krupa is inviting us to contemplate the beauty in the everyday, the poetry in the mundane. Like all good art, it leaves space for our own stories to unfold.
