entry description
The bonds or connections between people…These are two sacred rocks connected together by a Shimenawa rope, creating a duality of the spiritual and earthly reals. I’d like to think that the three smaller rocks depicted are their children, making them an intimate family of five.about the photographer
Vera Conley is an international award-winning photographic fine artist. Working with both analog and digital mediums, her passion is to explore relationships between light and shadow, shapes and form in the style of minimalistic and abstract compositions for the creation of ethereal, emotive images. She curates chaos strategically, reducing complications to primary elements of focus, often through the use of long exposure techniques and infrared photography. The results are images unconstrained by the physical world, opening up the mind and eyes to the imagination.back to gallery
