EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Reflection DP021665" by Derek Kendall takes us on a visual journey to the heart of London's Olympic legacy. The image showcases the mesmerizing reflection of The Icona Building in the tranquil waters of the Waterworks River, located within the iconic London Olympics 2012 site in Stratford. In this abstract composition, Kendall skillfully captures the essence of water as it becomes a mirror for architectural beauty. The distorted yet harmonious reflection creates an ethereal atmosphere that transports viewers into a dreamlike realm. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of how nature and human ingenuity can intertwine to create breathtaking moments. The juxtaposition between the modernity represented by The Icona Building and the natural element embodied by water evokes a sense of balance and harmony. It serves as a powerful reminder that even amidst urban landscapes, there is room for tranquility and serenity. Derek Kendall's lens has not only captured an exquisite moment frozen in time but also encapsulated an important chapter in London's history. This photograph stands as a testament to both artistic vision and historical significance, showcasing how architecture can shape our surroundings while seamlessly blending with its environment. Through his lens, Kendall invites us to appreciate not only man-made wonders but also their interaction with nature—a gentle reminder that sometimes true beauty lies within reflections waiting to be discovered if we take time to observe closely.
