Work description and art-historical context
A seemingly incidental fragment of landscape meets the gaze and begins to return it. The image holds a mood in which memory and the present overlap, losing their temporal anchoring. The landscape does not appear as a motif, but as a space of experience. The photographic fixation does not preserve the moment; it makes its fragility visible. In the image’s quiet melancholy lies the intimation of a presence that cannot be held. The work becomes an ode to a world in which the visible is always permeated by something invisible - by an origin that reveals itself only in experience, not in understanding.
