In Violet Shadows. I wanted to explore the quiet transition of light as it moves through dense forest growth, shifting from warm illumination into deep, cool recesses. I am continually drawn to the way light gets lost and hen found within the complex patterns of foliage, using a minimalist, impressionist approach to capture the landscape's raw energy rather than a strict photographic reality.

By introducing deep violet tones into the forest floor and tree contours, I wanted to push the relationship between light and dark values, using color to emphasize the cool atmospheric stillness that settles over the wilderness just as the light begins to recede.
