Lost Souls

Photography

The movement of the fireflies, captured through the long exposure and high ISO, is accentuated against the dark forest in Elmau, Austria, through their bright greenish light and displayed in A2 to comment on the rarity of this moment. This symbolizes the lost souls of deceased warriors in Japanese culture, suggesting ephemerality and inducing the melancholic concept of an afterlife. The landscape is therefore not a natural replica, but filled with emotions as melancholy prefers the quiet, solitary night for contemplation.
