Between lines

Between lines. 2019.

A single jet holds the centre of the frame, locked on its climb while two soft vertical bands close in from either side. The world that launched it is reduced to these vague columns of blur, as if the plane is passing through the last brackets of the ground before the sky takes over completely. The photograph plays with tension and stillness, freezing a fraction of a second into something that feels almost diagrammatic, a clean symbol for departure, direction and the thin corridor every journey moves through on its way out of view.
