Old man hunter looking for prey for home
Comment
It is a great honor and privilege for me to be present in this prestigious and global event alongside outstanding artists from around the world, and to be introduced as one of the winners of this edition. This photograph is part of my long-term series “At the Threshold of Silence,” developed since 2017. It shows an old man walking alone through a snow-covered landscape, searching for prey for his waiting child. Amidst vast whiteness and frozen trees, silence becomes deafening. The hunter symbolizes the fragility of human existence, the weight of responsibility, and the enduring power of love in desolate spaces.
