This series explores the visual and symbolic contrast between purity and decay. A luminous egret moves through dark, algae-choked waters, its pristine white plumage untouched by the murky surroundings. Each image becomes a study in coexistence without assimilation—how something can remain true to its nature even when immersed in an environment that stands in stark opposition to it. The photos were taken in Florida, US.
