Boegl’s careful attention to atmosphere and timing imbues the image with a quiet narrative quality, inviting viewers to linger and imagine the lives and moments that unfold within the building. This delicate balance between observation and storytelling creates a scene that feels both timeless and immediate, capturing the spirit of the city in a single frame.
