the storm hesitates at the horizon, heavy and brooding, while the last sunlight fights through the cloud cover. there is a quiet tension in the air, the kind before the first raindrop falls. the sea waits below, dark and indifferent.

“Dominion” explores the fragile boundary between strength and subjugation. Captured in stark monochrome, the image isolates a weathered sculpture: a towering central figure grips two others by the hair, evoking power, protection, or punishment. The trio becomes a frozen myth—gender-fluid and emotionally unreadable—set against the wild indifference of nature.

The photograph interrogates how dominance is portrayed and preserved in art, reflecting both timeless archetypes and modern questions of control, identity, and loss. Stripped of color, the viewer is left with raw surface, muscular tension, and stone-cold silence.

Artist Statement:

There’s a moment when the mask isn’t about concealment it’s about revealing what’s become permanent underneath.

This piece captures the Lamb not in action, but in awareness. He knows he’s being watched. He’s calculating what that means. The finger to the face is not innocence. It’s consideration.

What will you do now that you’ve seen me?

This image is the breath before the next move, and that tension is everything. It’s not horror in motion it’s horror in thought.
