XI. Steps Through History XI

In "Steps Through History XI," the tunnel becomes a vessel of time, its puddles reflecting not only light but also the blurred movements of history itself. The long shutter speed technique captures the fleeting moments of a figure’s passage through this space, creating a soft blur against the sepia tones and tarnished textures. Strong backlighting adds a ghostly glow, while black-and-white accents generate an interplay of light and shadow. The figure’s anonymity invites viewers to imagine themselves walking through this tunnel of memory, contemplating T.S. Eliot’s words, "Time past and time future, what might have been and what has been, point to one end, which is always present."
