Ian Bell, Emergence (SINGLE SHOT 2024)

A B&W exploration of finding light amidst darkness, this photograph captures the quiet resilience of nature to keep going, persist and thrive. The worn steps, bathed in soft light, symbolise a journey from grief and depression toward hope. Even in the shadowed corners of life, there is always a way forward—a path that leads to the light just beyond.
