EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Maxim Shemetov, we are transported to the frozen banks of Varzuga river in the village of Varzuga, located in the Murmansk region of Russia. The image showcases a wooden boat resting upside down on the icy shore, surrounded by a vast expanse of snow-covered fields and a serene rural landscape. The composition is strikingly beautiful as it captures the essence of winter with its cold exterior and open space. The clear blue sky above adds an element of tranquility to the scene while emphasizing the stark contrast between nature's elements. This creative use of perspective allows us to appreciate both the boat's abandonment and its harmonious integration into its environment. With no people present, our attention is drawn solely to nature's presence in this desolate yet enchanting setting. It serves as a reminder that even amidst harsh weather conditions, wildlife continues to thrive resiliently. Shemetov's photograph encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also tells a story about human interaction with their surroundings. As we gaze upon this abandoned vessel lying dormant on land during winter, we can't help but ponder about its past adventures and what led it here. Overall, this image evokes feelings of solitude and contemplation while showcasing Mother Nature's ability to transform ordinary objects into extraordinary works of art within her wintry embrace.
