In a time when nature and well-being are seen as ideals to strive for, it's hard not to be drawn to them, yet the pressure to follow through can feel overwhelming. The image reflects an internal struggle—between desire and inertia—where the urge for change exists, but taking the next step remains just out of reach. The lilies, symbols of purity and renewal, contrast with stillness, embodying the tension between aspiration and hesitation.
Leaf colour comes from pigments. These are natural substances produced by leaf cells to help them obtain food. The three pigments that colour leaves are chlorophyll (green), carotenes (yellow) and anthocyanins (reds and pinks).
Chlorophyll gradually breaks down in Autumn and the yellow comes to the fore. the reds then appear after the yellow.
Whilst on the island of Rhodes I went for a swim early one morning and sat in the water and watched the waves lapping over this rock whilst videoing the movement.
I then created a slow motion video and used some royalty fee ambient music.
I find water very hypnotic and soothing and am fortunate to live on the coast where I am drawn to the water's edge in the calm and the storm.
