SERENITY

A glimpse of orchid against deep yellow reveals the form of a woman bringing her vegetables to the market in the early morning. Hoi An, seen through the reflection of constantly moving river water, highlights the impermanence of time.

Inspiration

Réhahn has returned again and again to Vietnam’s fishermen, shooting them in different styles to capture the light and reflections in the water. The colors of the net and the sky merge to transform the scene into the sublime.

Creation

The mosaic created with light and netting seems to fragment the image like a honeycomb. Shot through the fishing net and closely cropped to highlight the texture, the photograph takes on an element of pointillism. The balance of blue and yellow recall the favorite tones of several painters such as Van Gogh and Pissarro.
