About the artwork

The camera points upwards from the ground and captures an intimate section of the autumn ground in high-resolution macro perspective, streaked with fallen leaves in warm tones. Nearly visible maple, oak and beech leaves lie on top of each other, their veins and edges pin-sharp; fine frost is visible on some edges, crystalline grains of ice glisten like tiny diamonds on the matt surface. Scattered among the foliage are shiny chestnuts and brown acorns, their smooth shells reflecting light and looking like small sculptures in the natural carpet. Some leaves are still floating in flight, frozen out of focus, while the foreground with dewdrops and frost crystals is resolved in detail. The extremely shallow depth of field leads the eye upwards along a subtle diagonal, where the ground finally merges into a soft bokeh.

In the distant background, the sky opens up: the sunset sends streaks of gold, apricot and cool pink through the blur, like a distant, warmly glowing veil. The evening light from the side emphasises relief and texture, casting soft shadows in the folds of the leaves and highlighting the frosty edges. The composition combines microstructure and a broad mood of light; you can feel the crunching sound of the leaves, smell the earthy coolness and feel the transition of the seasons. Overall, a dense, sensual autumn moment is created: fragile transience meets shining details, each pixel documents the quiet poetry of the forest floor in the transition to dusk.
