A white shoulder and a mane on a black background, the image manages to say more by having little in it. This semi-abstract picture has a level of ambiguity that resonates - a detail of a beautiful horse that at the same time, suggests a pristine snow-covered mountain. The attention this image received made me realize that the horse was not only a subject that fascinated me, it also had a special connection for many other people. Somehow, the image had punctured their consciousness and prompted them to respond."
