Light and Rest

In the scorching heat of a summer day in Paris, seeking refuge from the sun, I found solace within the walls of the Musee d’Orsay. Venturing to the top floor, I turned a corner and beheld a captivating sight—the baroque-style restaurant. It was a frozen moment, as if time itself had slowed, and the clock just outside the rounded window appeared to have halted. The heat dissipated from my body, replaced by a profound sense of relief akin to discovering an oasis in the desert. In that instant, it felt as though the entire room was enveloped in an aura of joy, with humanity collectively savoring the preciousness of existence.

With this image, I aimed to recreate the profound experience of witnessing light wash over the room. I utilized shades of orange and yellow to intensify the perception of heat within the space, creating a visual juxtaposition between the exuberance of emotional relief and the inexorable march of time.
