Amanda Clarke, Ascending Pillar (PLACES 2024)

This image captures the dramatic perspective of a pillar from the famous church in St. Peter's, England. The photograph is taken from the base, looking upwards towards the sky, creating an almost abstract representation of the church's architecture. The play of light and shadow casts ethereal patterns on the surface of the pillar, highlighting the texture and contours formed by years of history. The angle of the shot adds to the feeling of grandeur and height, while the stark black and white tones imbue the image with a timeless quality, evoking a sense of reverence and solemnity befitting the sacred structure.
