VISTAS
 

This series of forty photographs was taken from the window of a moving train crossing the rural landscapes of southern Quebec. It offers a poetic meditation on impermanence and introspection. Captured in the final days of autumn, each image suspends the viewer in an ephemeral moment—a brief passage. The fleeting nature of these views, seen through a window as the train glides past fields and forests, reflects the transience of memory and the quiet melancholy that accompanies the changing of seasons. These images, muted in tone and bathed in veiled light, depict stripped fields and skeletal trees reaching toward slate-colored skies, standing alone in the open expanse. These compositions  confront the viewer with the starkness of absence. In these pared-down landscapes, the absence of human presence becomes a presence in itself—a spectral trace of what once was, or what could be.
