This image is part of my series "When Time Stands Still".
In deep winter there is a time when nature rests. All is frozen, there is no growth and there is no decay. During this darkest time of the year time stands still. It is the time for introspection and reflection. The naked silhouettes of trees against a misty canvas allow us humans also to be quiet and rest.
I am a German biologist and have lived and worked in China and the United States. I took my first photography steps with my father, who gave me my first camera and taught me about light. During my doctorate, exploring the ultrastructure of a plant virus, I learned darkroom techniques to develop and print my electron micrographs. Since moving to Paris, I am studying fine art photography with Meredith Mullins on the Ile Saint Louis. In my work, I search for calm and finding magic in the present moment.
