These are the things that make up the urban fabric and, more often than not, they go unnoticed - and yet, when photographed by someone like Gabe, these same things not only grab your attention but, they're also able to hold it long enough for you to wonder how you ever missed that beautiful detail. 

Whether or not it was an intentional endeavor to develop an aesthetic reminiscent of the simpler things from our childhood, Kat Melo's works serve as visual cues to play. Maybe it's the color, maybe it's the subject matter.
