Rhapsody in Green (Single)
DESCRIPTION
This is a stream in the Washington State rain forest in early May. Early morning light and the murmur of water. Standing waist deep in the middle of the ice cold water it sounded like a rhapsody.
AUTHOR
Ton Schless is a fine art photographer exploring memory, identity, and the passing of time through self-portraiture and metaphorical landscapes in search of his Ikigai, life's purpose. Working with the 4×5" dry plate process, his series Echoes of Self merges historical technique with contemporary inquiry. His images reveal a dialogue between body and nature, introducing imperfection as a metaphor for imperfections in life, transformation, belonging, and the quiet resilience of the human spirit. His work is to evoke meditations in search of his audience's Ikigai.
