EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Tobias Schwarz, the beauty of nature and the melancholy of a rainy day in Berlin converge. A single leaf delicately rests upon a wet glass wall, its vibrant green hue contrasting against the muted gray backdrop. The raindrops clinging to the surface create an ethereal effect, distorting our view of both the leaf and the world beyond. This image serves as a poignant reminder of how even amidst urban landscapes, nature finds ways to make its presence known. As droplets cascade down from above, they seem to mimic tears shed by Mother Earth herself. The leaf symbolizes resilience and tenacity; despite being detached from its tree, it continues to hold onto life's fleeting moments. The photographer skillfully captures this scene with precision and artistry. Each detail is meticulously framed within the composition, allowing us to appreciate both the simplicity and complexity found in everyday encounters with nature. Through his lens, Schwarz invites us into this intimate moment where we can reflect on our connection with our environment. As we gaze at this photograph, we are reminded that even during gloomy days when skies may be overcast and spirits dampened by rain showers, there is still beauty waiting to be discovered if only we take a moment to look closely enough – just like Tobias Schwarz did on that October day in Berlin back in 2011.
