Alone in Winter is a beautiful visual statement. Tatiana has photographed the flight of the winter birds in a park deserted by people. The tension and contradictions in this series appeals to me a lot. The motion is suddenly interrupted by a calm, a stillness. At first surprising, then you realize that the birds, the snow and the single leaf are all of the same origin - life itself.



Go to Alone in Winter - now a permanent exhibition
