DESCRIPTION
A fox stands alone in a field under the glow of a full moon. The horizon is lined with dense bushes, the sky tinted with the soft blue of night.
 
The animal is alert, motionless, present. The scene feels suspended – quiet, watchful, slightly unreal.
 
Part of the series Stille, this image was assembled from photographs taken in Brandenburg and altered through painterly interventions and filters.
 
It creates a fictional landscape that feels both grounded and dreamlike. Here, stillness becomes a form of presence.
 
The fox is not fleeing, not hunting – just being.
 
Still this is not a moment of peace, but of delay – a threshold between instinct and presence, between disappearance and confrontation.
