This monochrome image shows a quiet transition between two worlds: the natural tranquillity of greenery and the distant promise of the city. From the high vantage point on an apartment building on the Belgian coast, one looks deep into the interior. Trees fill the foreground and lead the eye to the buildings in the distance-houses, towers, factory chimneys. And behind them: a series of white plumes of cloud, from industrial installations, hovering above the horizon as a reminder of human presence. The choice of black and white enhances the calmness of the image, taking out time and letting only the shapes, lines and transitions speak. It is a landscape that balances between the stillness of nature and the rhythm of human life. The horizon is sharp, clearly delineated, yet distant. The image is hushed, a gentle clash between treetops and brick, between clouds and smoke. It invites you to look and look again, at a world where contrast and coherence go hand in hand. A panorama that breathes in quiet black and white.
