Oasis of Beauty - Susan Patrice
During this slow-down, photographers are turning their attention toward the natural world. For some, neighborhoods and yards have become an oasis of beauty, rich with photographic opportunities. For others, a way to befriend creative solitude and create a sense of connection and groundedness in this chaotic and uncertain time.
These photographs remind me of the power of photography to animate love. In the time-out-of-time world of these photographs, I feel connected to the sovereign beauty of the natural world and the ground of being from which all beauty emerges. For that, I am grateful.
“Without intending it, we find ourselves coming alive with a sense of celebration and delight. The pedestrian sequence of a working day breaks, a new door opens and the heart recognizes the silent majesty of the ordinary.”
