Description
Spotted while passing by a nearby church. Shadows of a few twigs where the grating meets the whitewashed surface of the belfry wall.

Such simplicity in shape but so very much intriguing to view, the eyes can play games with our mind ... mesmerising, Nikolay BB

a genuine nikolay abstract, where a simple occurrence of objects against objects becomes a highly articulate abstract. The texture on the grating (metal I assume) is articulate, as is its dip into the back-space. The shadows seem connected, but have a life of their own. And the white background is the 'tabula rasa' upon which these forms play out. More of your "threes," which you don't always use (you're a multi-faceted artist), but which occur in your work enough to prove that you have an intuitive sense of how beautifully small groupings work together. And it's a study in the various intensities of that hue---the amber-green-grayish hue of the grating & shadows throughout...You probably know that "hyero" means "sacred," thus the double meaning of your title: It looks like a hyeroglyph, but it's also on a designated sacred structure. Then, maybe there's something sacred about the essential patterns that underly all our lives. A fine piece of photographic art, Nikolay.
