DESCRIPTION
The first image was taken in December 2024, and it took over six months to find its perfect match.
 
The bird in flight represents outer freedom, while the monk below reflects inner peace, two kinds of liberation within the same city.
 
This diptych unites opposites such as movement and stillness, nature and architecture, human and animal , showing that they are not separate, but part of one shared world.
 
Presented in a black Delta aluminum frame and printed on Fine Art Baryta paper, the work is part of a limited edition of 8 prints.
