The vertical columns of basalt cut through the frame like ancient columns of a forgotten temple. The woman stands small, almost framed by the stone — her dark dress merging with the shadows, yet her gaze lifts, defiant. It’s a portrait of contrast: human scale against geologic time, light slicing through the rock, not quite reaching her.
The low angle from before is back — grounding the viewer, making the rock feel immense. But here, the light’s more diffused, less dramatic. The mood’s quieter, more introspective than the last shot. The texture of the stone is strong, the composition tight — but the figure feels slightly swallowed by the space. Maybe a touch more light on her face would anchor her presence a bit more.
Ru — what drew you to this particular cleft in the rock?
