CONTEMPLATION Photograph - Limited Edition of 100

In the year 2020, following the suffocating grip of the first lockdown, we briefly tasted the nectar of freedom once again. We journeyed to Spain – a sojourn not just of place but of soul, to witness, explore, and heal. CONTEMPLATION" is more than a piece of art. It is a silent ode to the youth of that era – the teenagers and young adults who were caught in the stormy crosswinds of global upheaval. For them, this period wasn't just challenging; for some, it was insurmountably devastating. They stood at the threshold of life's grand ballroom, ready to dance, to love, to discover, only to be told the music had stopped. The resilience we expect of age hadn’t yet been woven into their spirits. Yet, when the world opened its doors in July 2020, even if just a crack, the experience was nothing short of ethereal. It was a moment in time, surreal and unparalleled, filled with play, introspection, adventure, and above all, contemplation. CONTEMPLATION captures this dichotomy of emotion. It oscillates between shadows and luminescence, evoking an otherworldly, meditative trance. Within its depths, you'll find a blend of the mystique and the tangible, the agony and the ecstasy. Dive into its layers and perhaps, just perhaps, you'll touch the soul of that poignant time. CONTEMPLATION is printed direct onto brushed aluminium, leaving many of the white and bright areas of the original digital file bare to the metal. This and the brushed finish of the aluminium, gives the piece depth and 3D qualities. The piece changes through the day and into the evening, as the light in the space it is hanging changes and the light reflecting properties of the piece throw the light differently, accordingly. The effect is mesmerising and almost like a living piece of art.
