Quiet Light: A Slow Day with Lo Esencial

Quiet Light
Some days feel like they move slower — not out of laziness, but out of rhythm. The kind of rhythm that lets you notice things: how the heat lingers on a glass of water, how sunlight turns a wall golden for a moment, how everything breathes a little softer.
These three short films were shot on one of those days, when I stayed home and decided to observe instead of plan. Each fragment carries a small gesture — the way Lo Esencial creates objects that disappear into life yet shape its quiet moments.
I. The Days Are Getting Hot
The days are getting a bit hot lately.

The air thickens slightly, the light turns denser. A glass, a case, a surface — minimal elements that still tell a story. There’s beauty in the ordinary when the sun insists on staying a little longer.
II. The Colour of Water
I like the colour of the water at sunset.
The light of late afternoon makes the simplest things cinematic. Water becomes amber, reflections ripple slowly. It’s a portrait of calm, of small things that feel infinite when you stop rushing.
III. Sunlight in a Quiet Room
I liked how the sunlight brightened this room.
The light moves like a visitor — it touches, it leaves, it returns. That fleeting glow reminds me that stillness is never static; it’s just slower motion.
This series isn’t about showing — it’s about noticing.
Each object by Lo Esencial MX becomes part of a rhythm: the slow morning, the warm water, the sun that turns everything into memory.
Shot entirely on iPhone, this visual journal is a simple reminder that design and life meet in the same place — in light.
