Silent Reflection IV

Through dreamlike nature and fairytale scenes, the masked figure appears as an ethereal presence—neither fully human nor entirely spectral. The coat billows lightly as the wind moves through the trees, whispering secrets of forgotten paths and lost stories. The figure’s stillness is haunting, as if caught in a mythic reverie where time itself dares not intrude.

With surrealistic self-portraiture, the scene invites contemplation of life’s ephemeral beauty and the weight of memories layered upon the landscape. Inspired by the poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke: "The only journey is the one within." The figure is both guide and wanderer, caught between worlds in a visual poem of solitude and reflection.
