Eye in the Sky

High above a restless sea, a seagull soars through a beam of sunlight, breaking through a canopy of dark clouds. The photograph’s monochrome tones strip away the distractions of color, leaving only the contrast between shadow and light—form and freedom. The seagull’s wings are spread wide, embracing the expanse of the sky, its journey a search for clarity amidst the swirling gray below. This image captures the essence of the search for meaning, where understanding emerges in moments of transcendence, when we rise above the turbulence and glimpse the light that guides us home.
