PATTERNS OF CHANGE
the neighbourhood once spoke in quiet tones—identical shapes, white walls, little room for difference
over time, colour took root
 
azulejos in blue, green, yellow, and red now scatter across the façades, 
each house breaking from the next


balconies bloom with plants, doorsteps hold signs of life—shoes, toys, a cat
what was once repetition has become variation—a quiet mosaic shaped by time, use, and life
