Nocturne (Work in progress)
Project description
‘Nocturne’ can refer to paintings of night scenes but is so much more. Dark sounds of Wagner, the romantic piano music from Chopin, the revelation of secrets, the soft embrace of a hand…
“Nocturne” by Rosario Castellanos
Time is too long for life;
For knowledge not enough.
What have we come for, night, heart of night?
Dream that we do not die
And, at times, for a moment, wake.
Artist statement
The night brings out a special mood, hard contrasts unable to hide the softness of the human spirit.
My camera just an excuse to come closer, longing to connect.
