Just around the corner
“Lucy felt very frightened, but she felt inquisitive and excited as well. She looked back over her shoulder and there, between the dark tree-trunks, she could still see the open doorway of the wardrobe and even catch a glimpse of the empty room from which she had set out. (She had, of course, left the door open, for she knew that it is a very silly thing to shut oneself into a wardrobe.) It seemed to be still daylight there. “I can always get back if anything goes wrong,” thought Lucy.”

Picture this: you are taking a stroll through a city, or a park, or along a shoreline. You are enjoying the scenery, taking in the moment, and then in the corner of your eye, you notice something. It’s a path. It’s small, diverging from the one you’re walking on currently. Where it leads to is shrouded by a narrow passageway, or a leafy overspill, or a cave like structure. It’s the kind of path that you know that if you weren’t paying enough attention, you could miss, and you think to yourself, I wonder how many people have missed this?
These small moments of discovery and curiosity are quite possibly some of my absolute favourites in life. I will always follow the path, no matter what else I’m supposed to be doing. Simply because I don’t know what I will find if I don’t. These images are my attempt to depict this moment, to communicate a sense of wonder at what lies just beyond what we can see. :)
