EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Vincent Kessler, the aftermath of a powerful storm is vividly captured in a wheat field located in Avenheim, near Strasbourg, France. The image showcases the resilience and vulnerability of nature as rows upon rows of wheat plants lay blown down by the forceful winds. The close-up shot allows us to witness the intricate details of each individual plant, emphasizing their greenery against the backdrop of an expansive field. The creative use of depth of field adds an artistic touch to the photograph, with some plants appearing out-of-focus while others stand tall and sharp. This image serves as a reminder that even amidst destruction, there is still beauty to be found in nature's cycles. It symbolizes both growth and harvest - representing not only agricultural productivity but also our dependence on these crops for sustenance. With no people present in the frame, we are left alone with this scene from Mother Nature's theater. The weathered landscape evokes a sense of awe and respect for her power while highlighting our own insignificance in comparison. Vincent Kessler's skillful composition captures both the immediate impact and long-term consequences that storms can have on agriculture and our environment at large. This photograph stands as a testament to nature's ability to endure adversity while reminding us to appreciate its delicate balance.
