Imagine
Hadera Forest
Limited edition of 18
Artistic decisions are as much about what is absent as what is present, what surrounds the frame as much as what is in the frame. Standing in this forest in Hadera, I was struck by the contrast of light and dark shading, and particularly by the brightness of the imposing Eucalyptus at the center of this photograph. I chose to eliminate color in order to emphasize the lighting-related features of the scene. And by cutting the trees off starkly with the top of the frame, I invite the viewer’s imagination to collaborate on the artistic process of reconstructing the experience. I believe that by activating and exercising our imaginations we bring our whole selves more fully into artistic, spiritual, or everyday experiences.
