The Surface Beneath

The Surface Beneath captures a fleeting and poetic reflection in a rain puddle, turning the mundane into the mystical. A line of trees appears inverted in water, the granular asphalt and subtle ripples lending the illusion of an alternate world, eerily close yet emotionally distant. The photograph blurs the boundary between reality and reflection, challenging our perception of surface and depth.

This monochrome work offers a contemplative pause, exploring how memory, time, and natural elements converge to distort or reveal the truth. It’s an ode to the moments we often overlook—the abstract geometries shaped by nature’s hand and the melancholy beauty of passing weather.

The absence of human presence enhances the image’s introspective mood, drawing attention to how even the quietest scenes can hold profound resonance.
