We woke up at 530am to catch the sunrise in Mathura and ran into a group of kids playing Holi. One group befriended us and the turf war began. For over an hour the battle of water guns, balloons, colors, and buckets of water went on. Holi is a festival celebrated in Spring in India and Nepal. Known as a religious festival of sorts, it's mainly a celebration of the beginning of Spring, hence the reason bright colors and love are used to bring the season in. On the day of Holi, beautiful colored powders and water are thrown and not one thing is spared. Photo taken by Derek-Jon Flagge (United States) - Holidays/Events

We absorb the shapes we see. Architecture and infrastructure decide our actions, guiding us on our way home. We spend roughly 80-90% of our lives in cities so this relationship between design and human behavior is one of the most important aspects of life. This is an extract from an essay that explores the city in images and movements, a dance inspired by the shapes of the city. The aim of this photographic experiment is to investigate the relationship between design elements with regards to individuals' behavioral response to the public space. Created by three foreigners living in Barcelona, including a young actor from Lithuania, Marius Marte Marzo, and two young photographers Oana Radu and Adina Ilie from Romania.
