EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of tranquility and artistic brilliance in one frame. The focal point is undoubtedly the magnificent sculpture, "Monolith (Empyrean)" by Barbara Hepworth, proudly standing amidst the serene beauty of Kenwood House's garden in Hampstead, London. Crafted in 1954 during a post-war era, this masterpiece symbolizes resilience and hope. The intricate details of the white cherry tree gracefully intertwine with the sculpture, creating a harmonious blend of nature and art. James O. Davies skillfully captured this delicate balance through his lens in 2007, immortalizing this enchanting moment for generations to come. As you gaze upon this image, you can almost feel a sense of calmness wash over you. The juxtaposition between the solid structure of Monolith (Empyrean) and the ethereal blossoms evokes a profound sense of awe and wonderment. Hampstead Lane's Kenwood House has long been known as an oasis within bustling London; its gardens serving as an escape from city life. This photograph encapsulates that sentiment perfectly - offering viewers a glimpse into both historical significance and natural splendor. Through James O. Davies' lens, we are transported to another time - where art flourishes amidst adversity and nature provides solace for weary souls. It serves as a reminder that even in challenging times, beauty can still be found if we take a moment to appreciate it fully.
