In this black and white photograph, a waterfall in Iceland crashes onto a square-shaped stone below. Captured with a 1-second exposure, the image freezes the energy of water mid-flow—where force and grace collide. The contrast between the soft, fluid motion and the rigid geometry of the rock creates a dynamic tension. This image is a study in contrasts: stillness and movement, permanence and change, silence and impact.
