Story and Inspiration
This evocative piece, "Silent Sentinels: The Skeleton's Reach Under a Midnight Sun," captures the haunting beauty of a single leafless tree with its trunk limbs shooting out from the same base, all reaching up towards the sky towards a black sun shining down on them. Shot with a wide-angle 16mm lens on 35mm film, this x-ray style photo accentuates the stark contrast between the intricate, skeletal branches and the dark, enigmatic sun. Printed on Giclee Print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308 Fine Art Paper, the high-quality materials enhance the depth and texture, bringing out the ethereal glow and shadowy details of the image.
Inspiration and Story Behind the Work:
This photograph speaks to themes of pain and resilience. The tree, devoid of leaves, stands as a testament to endurance in the face of adversity, embodying the spirit of standing strong against the odds.
Hopes and Reflections:
Through "Silent Sentinels," I aim to evoke a sense of dynamic energy and passion, inviting viewers to feel a surge of boldness and adventurous spirit when they gaze upon the image. However, I also hope it provokes contemplation, urging viewers to reflect on leadership, authority, and the struggle for control in their lives.
Choice of Medium and Subject Matter:
The medium of 35mm film was chosen for its raw, authentic quality, emphasizing tradition and wisdom. The subject matter, meticulously captured through the lens, reflects diligence and craftsmanship. Every detail, from the gnarled branches to the dark sun, was selected to portray the toil and dedication involved in achieving mastery.
Style and Overall Energy:
The style of this photograph combines the burdened effort of intense labor, the emotional depth of empathy and understanding, and the nurturing creativity that brings forth new life. These elements converge to create a work that is both heavy with meaning and rich with emotional resonance. The overall energy suggests a theme of inner conflict and the search for balance and harmony within oneself.
"Silent Sentinels: The Skeleton's Reach Under a Midnight Sun" invites viewers to explore the interplay of light and shadow, strength and fragility, and the enduring quest for connection and understanding in a world often shrouded in darkness.
