XIII. Steps Through History XIII

In "Steps Through History XIII," the dance of light and shadow plays across the tunnel walls, with the figure moving like a shadowy ghost through the blurred frames. The long exposure technique enhances the dreamlike atmosphere, while puddles reflect both the figure and the backlighting, creating layers of light and time. Sepia and silver tones give the image a feeling of ancient mystery, and the figure’s indistinct form suggests a traveler lost between eras. The interplay of high-key and low-key lighting adds depth, evoking Kahlil Gibran’s words, "We are all prisoners, but some of us are in cells with windows and some without."
