  Jan Waanders, Netherlands

Seemingly frozen in a fraction of a second, this photo captures an architectural wonder that rebels against physics. The image explores the fragile line between balance and downfall, inviting the viewer to pause and consider the unseen forces that hold the world, and our assumptions, in place. The composition challenges perception as gravity seems temporarily suspended, held in check by an unseen force for a single, surreal moment. A visual echo of Barcelona’s spirit: bold, kinetic, elevating and … with a whisper of defiance.
