This powerful, abstract image captures the boundary between two worlds. The focus is on the immediate foreground: long, blurred blades of grass create a dramatic texture and obstruct the view of the trellis and landscape beyond. The image is dominated by high lighting and a faded, monochrome colour palette with hints of soft reds and greens. This gives the work an ethereal, dreamlike quality.
My inspiration lay in exploring the themes's separation and vista. The fence (possibly mesh or barbed wire) symbolises the barrier, while the blurry blades of grass represent the inner focus or imagination trying to see through the barrier.
The atmosphere is one of mystery, introspection and dreamy tranquillity. The slight flare and soft focus make the work poetic and leave room for the viewer's personal interpretation.
This image is special in modern and minimalist interiors where it serves as a soothing, textural eye-catcher. It adds artistic depth and a touch of abstract poetry to the space.
"Between barrier and gaze; a poetic representation of the border, captured in dream and texture."
