Drifting Destinies Fine Art Prints

Reflections of life in light, leaves and water

Drifting Destinies is a contemplative fine art photography series exploring the quiet movement of fallen leaves across the water of my neighbourhood lake. Through their passage, the collection reflects on the nature of human experience. It explores how each of us moves within boundaries unseen, shaped by forces beyond our control, yet ultimately defined by the choices we make along the way.

The Drifting Destinies Story

The lake becomes the leaf’s entire world: a confined universe of chance and circumstance. Each leaf has fallen from a tree unknown, its journey unplanned, its destination uncertain—much like the paths that bring people into and out of our own lives. Along that journey, it may glide across still water mirroring its form, or be carried over ripples stirred by external winds. These changing conditions serve as metaphors for the moments of reflection, disruption, and renewal that mark our shared human story.

Captured in high-contrast infrared, the unseen depths beneath the surface are obscured, directing attention to the delicate interactions above: the visible layer of existence. This abstraction transforms the familiar into something timeless, focusing on light, texture, and composition rather than literal representation. Each title—Chaos, Balance, Eternity, Kinship, and others—serves not as a literal description but as an open doorway to introspection, allowing viewers to discover their own meanings within the drift.

Rendered in a refined, minimalist black-and-white style, Drifting Destinies continues my exploration of nature as metaphor. Each print is produced in the spirit of traditional film-based fine art. Professionally reproduced on matte archival paper, each print is signed and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. The result is a collection that honours both the physical craft of printmaking and the quiet, enduring poetry of impermanence.
