Under a Winter Blanket: A Photographer’s Monochrome Vision of Trees

Last night, I was carried away by a dream—a fleeting yet profound escape after a lifetime of waiting. It felt like plunging into an ocean, weightless and serene, as if wrapped in the longest, warmest embrace. But when I woke, the world felt foreign, unrecognizable. In the dream, I was complete, at peace beneath the surface, yet I lost it all in an instant. The silence stayed with me as I stepped into the snow-covered landscapes of my reality, camera in hand. Solitude surrounded me, the trees standing like sentinels of quiet remembrance, their dark silhouettes stark against the endless whites. It was a world of contrasts, of coldness and warmth, of presence and absence.

Through my lens, I sought to capture the whispers of this silence. The monochrome palette mirrored the dreamlike stillness that lingers after loss—both haunting and beautiful. The snow transformed the familiar into something otherworldly, muffling sound and amplifying solitude. Each tree became a monument to resilience, standing tall amidst the weight of winter’s blanket. On Behance, I share these images as The Wandering Soul, hoping to evoke in others the same quiet introspection I found among these treescapes. Photography, like dreams, allows us to navigate the depths of our emotions—a fleeting connection to something larger than ourselves, even in the absence of what we’ve lost.
