A few weeks back I decided to dive into black & white mode, after seeing many inspirations online. One of the reasons why I love black & white is that colour seems to be secondary and value becomes dominant, and the contrast it gives each other. This one seemed to grab my attention the most because of the leave-less tree and it being winter it makes me anticipate the season even more. Avoiding the cliche, what this communicates to me is persistence and endurance that this tree has gone through. Every year the tree blooms in the spring time and is in Heaven during the summer. Come around the fall & winter, the tree looses it’s paradise, it’s brought back to square one. What amazes me is how it stands once again, summer after winter, spring after fall. Although this is just a tree, it still amazes me how we as humans can relate to nature. A desolate tree in the midst of cold and weary nights.
