A quiet, silhouetted image of a dandelion after it has gone to seed, photographed against deep green tones. The softened form and subdued light create a sense of pause, allowing the image to hold space for reflection rather than action.
The surrounding negative space and gentle contrast make this photograph especially effective for storytelling that explores transition, loss, or emotional stillness without being literal or heavy-handed.
