TRANQUILITY

  • Photographer
    Quang Nguyen, Canada

Moments of Balance amidst a fast-paced, noisy life. Aboriginal people's myths and their knowledge of celestial bodies are still around. Through the fog, peace gradually appeared before my eyes. With simplicity, nature's artistry was on display. For North American Aboriginal peoples, geese have long symbolized strength and endurance. The migratory birds were on their autumn journey. The minimalist images were open to interpretations and a meditation on nature and human, the current climates, and the connections. The series was created without digital manipulation.
