Silent Shadow – Lowland 2025: Highly commended
Along the bottom edge of the frame, a bird walks carefully over concrete, searching for small scraps or insects. Above it, the structure casts a bold grid of shadows onto the textured wall, and the bird’s silhouette becomes part of that pattern. The shadow is crisp and oversized, creating a second version of the bird that seems to exist independently from the real one. The mix of natural behavior and the strict geometry of the shadows gives the image a strong graphic feel, while the subtle textures of the wall and the calm posture of the bird keep the moment grounded in reality.
