In the Stillness, I Reach XXII

A tree’s upward growth becomes a metaphor for the figure’s gesture of reaching, creating a harmonious interplay of form and meaning. In the Stillness, I Reach XXII explores the balance between stillness and motion, inspired by T.S. Eliot’s observation: "At the still point of the turning world, there the dance is." The bog, with its stark beauty, becomes a space where opposites converge, offering both solace and inspiration.

The photograph’s low color palette and textured composition create a timeless quality. It blends fine art photography with the introspection of self-expression, inviting the viewer to linger and find their own stillness in the changing world.
