The branches write themselves upon the water.

At Loch an Eilein, when the surface stills to mirror, the overhanging trees become calligraphers—their bare winter forms inscribing dark marks against the luminous grey of reflected sky. The water receives these inscriptions and transforms them: sharp edges dissolve, forms elongate, presence becomes suggestion.

This series investigates the threshold between mark and ground, between physical branch and optical echo. The water surface operates as page—not passive recipient but active participant, transforming what it reflects. What we see is neither the branch nor its simple mirror image, but something the threshold creates through the act of reflection.

The Japanese concept of ma—the meaningful void between elements—informs the work. The grey expanses are not empty but full: of light, of potential, of the sky's reflection. The branches' intervals matter as much as their forms. What is absent defines what is present.

To photograph this is to participate in the inscription—the camera joins the branch in marking the moment when presence becomes visible through its own dissolution.
