A sense of mystery and serenity comes together in this black-and-white photography. The image shows a young woman, elegant in profile, standing with downcast gaze in the shadows. Her long, wavy hair flows gently along her shoulder, but the real eye-catcher are the large, white wings that extend gracefully from her back. The plumes and feathers are meticulously rendered, every detail visible through the subtle light that glides along their edges. The contrast between the light wings and the deep, dark background gives the scene a dramatic intensity, as if the figure is breaking free from the darkness.
Although the wings immediately evoke associations with angels and spirituality, the woman herself rather exudes a sense of vulnerability and inner peace. Her posture is subdued, without pride or theatrical pose, so the wings seem to symbolise protection, hope and transformation rather than religious exaltation. The interplay between humanity and symbolism makes this work layered: it is both a portrait of a woman and a metaphor for light in the shadows.
This artwork invites contemplation: is she an angel, a symbol, or simply a woman caught in a moment of silence and imagination? An image that lingers as powerful as it is poetic.
