𝐀𝐩𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐜 Eight years ago, right after my father passed away and we buried him, I was in a state of confusion and sorrow. I was in London on a sunny day, but the light that filtered through the city’s ironwork couldn’t reach my soul. I remember that I couldn’t find any photographs from that time, nothing that would remind me of him in a tangible way. The pain had wholly consumed me, and the world seemed to move forward, oblivious to everything I had lost. I went out to take photos, perhaps because photography had often offered me an escape. It allowed me to focus on something unrelated to what was happening inside me. I was there, but my mind was elsewhere. But then, I noticed a different light, a unique atmosphere that seemed to come from another world. It was a moment that took my breath away, a blend of the bright sunlight and the shadows dancing on the London pavement. That moment reminded me that not everything is lost, even though life moves on. I grabbed my camera and pressed the shutter. That photograph became Apocalyptic – a tribute to my father and a symbol of transformation. The name came not from a conscious choice but from a deep sense of revelation. It was a photograph that symbolised the end of an era for me and the beginning of another chapter. I allowed myself to meditate on that image, letting it carry me through my thoughts, bringing me peace amid the inner chaos. It was my way of confronting the pain, of turning it into a form of understanding. ©️Ovidiu Selaru @ovidiuselaru_ Website - SELARUOVIDIU.COM Photos taken with passion, using the @leica_camera and thoughtfully edited in @lightroom
