About the work
This photo is like a silent symphony of winter, where each snow crystal turns into a note that vibrates in the cold air. The space that stretches before the eyes is like an endless ocean of whiteness, where there is neither time nor movement, only the eternal immobility of frost. It is an endless field of snow that absorbs everything around it, so pure that it seems as if time itself has stopped, frozen in this transparent silence. Here, the air is saturated with bone-chilling cold, but at the same time it gives an amazing peace that has no equal. At the edge of this world stands a lonely wall of reeds, dark and silent, like the only living thing left on this white canvas. They bent under the invisible weight of the frosty wind, but they do not break - they endure. These dark reed stalks are reminiscent of tortured souls fighting against the elements, but against all odds, they continue to stand. Their contrast with the white world around them is a metaphor for a life that clings to the smallest ray of hope even in the harshest conditions. The sky above them is gray, heavy, like lonely thoughts that cannot find a way out into the infinity of space. This picture is about the cold majesty of nature and the small but unshakable force of life that sprouts even through ice and wasteland.
