A 2019 Project
“I’ve been forty years discovering that the queen of all colors is black.” – Henri Mattise
When you strip away the color, you are left with the soul of the image. Shapes, textures, and lines bring out the personality of the subject. We see the inner workings of life. We see things that we did not see before. We listen more with our eyes.

color and strength are gone transition to another phase renewal and continuation the process of nature “But when does something's destiny finally come to fruition?
