About the artwork

The photo shows an intimate macro shot of a wild blade of grass in the mountains at sunset and captures a fleeting moment of stillness and warmth. A single blade stands in the foreground, its fine hair structures and tiny dewdrops clearly visible, although the shallow depth of field transforms the surroundings into soft bokeh. The warm evening light of the setting sun casts a golden glow over the grass and creates delicate reflections along the edges, while the shadows fall long and softly over the stalks. The vintage filter lends the image a nostalgic mood: the colours are slightly desaturated, the contrasts are softened and a subtle film grain effect covers the scene like a memory. In the background, the silhouettes of the mountains are only vaguely recognisable, in pastel orange tones and fading violet, which merge seamlessly into the sky. The composition focuses on texture and light; each blade of grass looks almost like a brushstroke drawing, while the blurring gives the picture depth and an almost dreamlike intimacy. One senses the vastness of the mountain landscape without it dominating the view - instead, the picture draws attention to the small, fragile and yet enduring aspects of nature. Overall, the scene conveys a calm, summery serenity, a mixture of melancholy and peaceful beauty that invites the viewer to linger and catch their breath.
