'Traversing Condition'

If you take a closer look, you'll notice that ivy is not connected to anything, except for the post. A part of the plant was left by accident when someone was clearing the post. The light was really interesting, therefore it wasn't a tough decision to take this photograph. I very much like the structure of the old wooden post and the way the lighting accentuates its surface. We clearly see two parts: the shaded area and the lit one. The ivy is in between, with still enough space left for its shadow.

It is a closed composition with both lit and unlit background. It does carry meaning but it's not an obvious one. Is it about life prevailing over death? The part of ivy is still alive, even though it's actually cut from the roots. Is it about human's vain wish to unsuccessfully reach immortality? Is it about human's condition of traversing on a border between dark and light, sadness and happiness, right or wrong? Could be any of them if we decide to think deeper. This time I will not tell you what it means to me, you be the judge of the meaning. The real beauty of any art lies in the eye of the beholder. You're welcome to be the witness and let me know what does it mean to you?

This situation lasted only for a minute. I was able to take only one good out of eight taken photographs. Then the cloud came and after it was gone the ratio and positioning of the light were different. You are looking at the very first take. Most of the times, in my case the best one is either the first or the last one. :)

Enjoy! :)
