Rooted in the Wind VII

"Rooted in the Wind VII" portrays a serene moment where nature’s quiet power converges with human stillness. The figure stands beside a single stone, its presence a metaphor for balance and permanence amid the shifting elements. Overhead, a pair of old branches mirror the human form, their shapes flowing like streams of energy toward the infinite sky.

The photograph’s muted palette enhances its ethereal quality, blending textures of ice and water with soft, sepia-tinged light. This composition invites introspection and reminds viewers of the Japanese aesthetic principle of "wabi-sabi"—the beauty of impermanence and imperfection.

Through this self-portrait, the series continues to explore the themes of connection and transformation, offering an intimate glimpse into the evolving dialogue between humanity and nature.
