"What we are Chasing is Fragile"

This picture means a lot to me, both visually and symbolically. I took it in Krakow, Poland, in the town square. A magician was entertaining young children with huge bubbles. It is a candid shot, which I cropped in order to focus the composition on the child. In editing, I also played with the exposure, temperature and added vignette and sepia effects to create the rich finished product.

I love the innocence of the child and the beautiful colours in the bubble itself. The title of this photograph came very naturally to me, as at the point of taking the picture, I was tempted by a relationship which simply couldn't work, and I felt the naivety of a child, and the perfect unstainability of the bubble summed this up.
