A Moment on Worn Stone XXII

Standing atop a ruin, facing time’s erosion with one’s presence, evokes a quiet defiance. This image captures that defiance—not in the form of resistance but in the form of reflection. The figure, standing alone, does not seek to reclaim the space but to listen to it.

Muted tones and soft contrasts create an atmosphere of contemplation, an aesthetic meditation on liminal spaces. The past is present in the stone's textures and the water's stillness. “We are all visitors to this time, this place,” wrote an old Aboriginal proverb. We are just passing through.” This image understands that, offering a moment of passage, a threshold into something unseen.
