The Edge of Silence
2007

A monochromatic photograph depicting a serene landscape with a person standing on the edge of a calm body of water. The water reflects the sky, trees, and the person, creating a symmetrical image. Above the reflection of the person, concentric ripples appear on the surface of the water, mirrored by similar patterns in the sky, suggesting a surreal or altered reality.
