Branch Between Sky and Water

A weathered branch juts out over still water, dividing two worlds. The surface becomes a mirror of clouds and sky, while underwater shadows and reflections add depth and disorientation. The branch, bleached and broken, carries a small fishing bobber tangled in its limbs — a reminder of human presence in the landscape. This image balances abstraction with narrative, inviting the viewer to linger between what is real and what is reflection.
