The Dance of Trees

My Assignment

Description

To capture surreal reflections of trees and plants in water.

Duration

I started shooting these images four years ago. It is a subject I keep on visiting all the time.

Notes

Observe the reflection from many angles. Waves and ripples on water create textures that add vitality to the frame.

Observing harmony in chaos has always fascinated me. There is this flow to things; even the seemingly inert. A tree grows, decays, and over a long period of time dissolves into nothingness. This flow is hidden, yet it is always present. It is this transition that I try to portray through reflections, with images being a witness to an everchanging wonder that is life.
