Soul Howling" - it is the cry of the soul.
In the silence of dancing snow, the howl of a wolf echoes.
Like a prayer connecting earth and sky, his voice reaches something unseen.
The flow of time etched in his black and silver fur, the wild instinct in his sharp fangs.
By capturing these moments, we can feel the proof of his life.
This work is not a mere portrait of an animal.
Through the breath and the trembling of the soul contained within, it awakens the instincts hidden within us.
