Introducing the Lore Project, an ongoing series exploring the beauty of the understated, inviting photographers and image makers to share their way of seeing.

The first entry is by Luca Werner, a German photographer and filmmaker.

"You are looking at the side of my very first window in Paris. I was fascinated that the pieces of paint seemed like the skin of an old person. Its wrinkles create the beauty and story of it."

"You could hear birds through the window, and every now and then a slow breeze moved the curtain. The drops on the wall mirrored the one on my skin."

"I fell in love with Bagni for many reasons. People open up and enjoy a moment of relaxation and reflection. A utopia where time is standing still for a little while."
