Vestibule of Memories VIII

The faint figure, barely more than a shadow, reaches toward the rusted door as though attempting to unlock an entryway and the essence of the memories held within. The photograph's muted tones—sepia, cyan, and soft black-and-white—envelop the scene in a contemplative stillness, inviting viewers to linger and reflect.

This is more than an image; it is a moment frozen in time, imbued with the weight of untold stories. The weathered door, a silent witness to years of abandonment, becomes a metaphor for the thresholds we encounter in life—places where endings and beginnings converge.

As Rainer Maria Rilke wrote, “And now we welcome the new year, full of things that have never been.” In this work, the door represents what has been and what could be, urging us to approach the unknown with curiosity and reverence.
