Fernanda Pedroso, Ethereal (SINGLE SHOT 2024)

Death is a fundamental condition of life. but we are never prepared to face it. especially when it comes to a premature, unexacting passing. I made this photo to homage a childhood friend of mine who passed away in a car accident in April 2023. Unfortunately in November 2023 I used It again to homage another friend of mine who just passed away in a motorcycle accident. This photo reflects the ethereal nature of life, where beauty mingles with fleeting impermanence. It invites us to contemplate the beauty of life's moments, recognising their fragility and the inescapable shadow of mortality. As we navigate the delicate balance between existence and its transcendence.
