2025
About the Item
A quiet interplay of light, shadow, and form, 'Reaching for the stars' captures a fleeting, dreamlike moment in surrealist composition. The softly illuminated hand reaches toward blurred floral silhouettes, evoking themes of connection, transience, and memory. The delicate balance between presence and absence gives the image a poetic stillness, inviting quiet contemplation.
Created using a large format camera and traditional black-and-white film, this work reflects Ugne’s dedication to subtlety and depth in visual storytelling. The photograph is printed on Hahnemühle Photo Rag Baryta 308 gsm fine art paper, enhancing its rich tonal gradations and soft textures. Each print in this limited edition of 20 is hand-numbered, signed in the bottom right corner, and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Securely packaged and shipped via insured express delivery.
