Captured on a bright spring day in Prague, Silhouettes plays with perspective, contrast, and storytelling. The image frames two blurred figures walking along the city's cobbled paths, seen through the intricate spokes of a bicycle wheel. This juxtaposition of sharp and soft elements creates a layered composition that speaks to both movement and stillness, the passing of time, and the unseen connections that weave through everyday life.
The sunlight enhances the textures of the ground while casting long shadows, adding depth to the scene. The deliberate use of black and white strips the image down to its essentials, emphasizing the geometry of the spokes and the fleeting human presence in the background. Is this a moment of pause, a transition, or a metaphor for life’s continuous cycle? The interpretation is left to the viewer.
Through its unique framing and thoughtful composition, Silhouettes invites the audience to see familiar surroundings in a new light—where ordinary moments become extraordinary when captured from the right perspective.
