Rooted in the Wind V

"Rooted in the Wind V" captures a moment of stillness where nature’s fragility becomes a metaphor for human existence. Standing on fragile ice, the figure seems suspended between worlds—a guardian of the threshold where water turns to frost. Beside them lies a stone, its enduring presence contrasting the delicate surface beneath.

The photograph's muted tones amplify its contemplative aura, creating a dreamlike interplay between form and texture. The branches, appearing like energy streams from the figure’s arms, symbolize the unseen forces of connection and vitality. These organic shapes echo Rumi’s timeless wisdom: “Try not to resist the changes that come your way. Instead, let life live through you.”

In this self-portrait, the balance of fine art and abstraction invites the viewer to meditate on peace, strength, and transformation. The image reflects the duality of fragility and endurance, a poignant reminder of the beauty found in moments of transition.
