"Simplicity in solitude: Alone in a square" is a macro photograph of a tiny fluffy seed of a plant. The seed lies on a reflective surface on which there are also all kinds of tiny water droplets. On the fluff attached to this small seed, to ensure the seed is carried away by the wind, there are also very small water droplets. These can hardly be seen with the naked eye, but in this macro photo they are. If you zoom in on the work, you can see them clearly. You can also see that a shallow depth of field was chosen for this photo. As a result, one part is very sharp, and everything in front and behind this part gradually fades away. This creates a dreamy atmosphere in the photo and at the same time gives a sense of depth to the work.
This fluff comes, I suspect, from some kind of thistle. The colours of the work are soft and natural and I think fit well with a country or basic interior style.
This work could, for example, hang beautifully as wall decoration (on aluminium or HD metal, for example) in the conference room, bedroom, hallway or, of course, just above the sofa!
