Description:
The photograph Narcissus is an introspective image exploring the relationship between self and the world. The silhouette of a head, embedded within the landscape, appears to lean over its own reflection — into the earth, water, and trees. Visually, it references the myth of Narcissus, yet instead of self-absorption, it reveals a fragile connection with nature and the dissolution of the ego.
The image opens a space for contemplation: What do we see when we look into our own depths? Where does truth begin and illusion end? And is self-love truly a sin, or a path back to wholeness?
The fine art print Narcissus is for those unafraid to see themselves differently — in silence, in depth, in the shadows cast by light.
