This is a black and white photograph of an urban street during snowfall. Three figures are gathered around a small fire in the foreground, made of reclaimed urban materials. Snowflakes fall throughout the image, adding texture. In the background, there are buildings and parked vehicles. One man is carrying objects, while another figure is walking in the middle section. The image captures urban survival and community in harsh conditions.
