On the shore of the Black Sea, waters disturbed by an unwanted war, in a wild region, millions of dry stems carried white spirals and bent disorientated in the strong wind. They made me think of the times we live in, which have drained us of power and alienated us from each other.
The photo talks about reconnecting with ourselves. About the inner awakening, about the awareness of everyone's role in the community. About healing ourselves as a society and finding harmony among ourselves.
