إِصْـرْ (burden);
Well well well, 3 days of "vacation" passed already and I've almost got used to it and forgot to post here! We had some drama during this vacation so, it's like I needed more days. Sorry for not checking your amazing art folks, but hopefully I'll catch up soon.
Anyway, here is a shot I've made in the last week of 2024, and posting it now. The idea is about the "unnecessary" burden that we (or, most of us) might carry on our shoulders from the culture, the community, or family, as we go on in this life. The burden is not necessarily enforced, I'd argue, but sometimes it is just how we believe things should be for some issues in this life based on what or how our environment shaped us when we were younger. So, we keep on carrying that burden and drag it all along however messy it can get. Sometimes, the burden can be, simply put, a trauma or a negative experience, that we just can't or try so hard for years, to get rid of.
Technically now, I've decided to shoot this one with my macro 100mm lens instead of my usual 50mm, and the composition, well, definitely not a minimal one. Putting the whole thing in style of the previous shots probably would make it lose dimension and depth, and because of the structure itself, I had to put the camera in a lower level to get a glimpse of the carrying matchstick.
