In the blink of an eye, the Covid-19 pandemic swiftly reshaped our lives, much like the rapid transformations I sought to capture by the pond. Just as the world adapted to a new normal, the water's surface mirrored the speed of change – a metaphor for the ephemerality of our existence.
As I ventured into the outdoor havens near my home, I marveled at how the pond, like our lives, could undergo swift alterations. Shadows chased ripples across the water, mirroring the sudden shifts in our routines. Leaves delicately kissed the pond's surface before descending, symbolizing the fragility of moments, akin to the swift adjustments we made to navigate a world in flux.
The images in this collection encapsulate not only the tranquility of quiet afternoons but also the metaphorical dance of change. Waiting for the breeze to guide leaves into my camera lens became a reminder of the unpredictable turns life takes. The play of sunlight on water mimicked the unpredictability of our own journeys, with moments of distortion and clarity.
In seeking solace in the ordinary, I found resonance with the pace of life – its ability to transform and surprise. Through the lens of nature's changes, I discovered a reflection of our own adaptability in the face of unforeseen challenges, highlighting the beauty in both the fleeting and the enduring.
