SUBLIME BEATITUDO - Triptych Series

Artistic Statement:
As I peer through the lens of my camera, I see more than just images; I capture moments, emotions, and the essence of peace itself. It's a serene afternoon, the golden light of the sun filtering through the leaves of the trees, casting a warm glow upon the familiar backyard. Yet, through my lens, this ordinary scene transforms into something extraordinary.

In the frame, a child, perhaps no longer a small child but still young at heart, is returning home. Their steps are light, their laughter echoing through the air. The backdrop of the backyard fades away, replaced by a magical forest where the trees whisper secrets and the air hums with the promise of adventure.

As the child moves closer to home, their surroundings blur, and their imagination takes flight. Each step is a dance, each leap a journey into the unknown. In their eyes, I see the sparkle of wonder, the innocence of youth unburdened by time.

In this moment, captured through my lens, peace reveals itself. It's not just the absence of noise or conflict; it's the presence of something deeper, something pure. It's the feeling of coming home, of being embraced by love and belonging.

For me, peace is watching my child, regardless of age, rediscover the joy of simple pleasures. It's witnessing their unbridled laughter, their carefree spirit, and knowing that no matter where life takes them, they will always find their way back home.

As the shutter clicks, freezing this fleeting moment in time, my heart swells with gratitude. In the simple act of returning home, my child brings me peace. My world is whole, my soul complete, and for this brief moment, everything is perfect. - KD
