In the Stillness, I Reach V

In this evocative image, the character stands as a silent witness to nature’s enduring rhythm, their form blending into the timeless landscape. In the Stillness, I Reach V portrays the bog as both a mirror and a muse—a space where life’s cycles of growth and decay unfold without judgment. The upward-reaching branches symbolize the tension between aspiration and surrender, drawing from the words of Rabindranath Tagore: "The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough."

Here, the muted palette of low color and black-and-white tones emphasizes the universality of the scene, stripping away distractions to reveal the essence of the moment. The stained textures suggest the passage of time, while the character’s gesture of reaching transforms into an act of quiet defiance—a reminder that even in stillness, there is motion.
