Traces of Flight captures the serene beauty of a single kite soaring at sunset on Parliament Hill in London, transformed into a dynamic and layered composition through a quad-exposure technique. The artwork blends the kite’s graceful movements with the golden hues of the setting sun, the layered silhouettes of trees, and the deep blue sky above, creating a dreamlike and contemplative scene.
As I stood on Parliament Hill, watching the kite dance in the gentle breeze, I was struck by how its movement seemed to carve paths through the sky, leaving behind ephemeral traces of joy. The warm embrace of the sunset and the quiet hum of the city below added a sense of grounding to the fleeting beauty above. The quad-exposure technique allowed me to capture the kite’s fluid journey, each layer representing a moment of connection between earth and sky.
