"Black-and-white still life of calm and balance: A drop resting on a feather" is a macro photo of a peaceful scene (still life): A droplet resting on a feather.
This work is a macro photo where the depth of field is small, giving a dreamlike atmosphere because part of the feather (including the drop and the central pin) is in focus. It creates a minimalist image that exudes tranquillity.
This little scene of the feather and drop is only a few centimetres big in reality!
The lighting has been chosen in such a way that there is still a tension in the photo, despite the calmness, there is something dramatic / theatrical in the lighting for me.
This work could, for example, hang beautifully as wall decoration in the waiting room, bedroom, dining room or of course just above the couch in the living room!
