Untitled 1980

Ursula Schulz-Dornburg made this untitled photograph, and it’s just so poetic with its washed-out grays, like a dreamscape. Imagine Schulz-Dornburg out there, setting up her camera, framing this solitary horse and cart on a distant land bridge. What was she thinking, waiting for this moment? Maybe something about journeys, about the way we move through life? The water is so still, reflecting the sky. And then there’s the horizon line, so clear and sharp, dividing the world into these two realms. It feels almost elemental, like water and sky. I love how simple it is. With very few elements, Schulz-Dornburg invites us to contemplate time, place, and the quiet beauty of ordinary moments. She’s not trying to shout; she's whispering something profound. Ultimately, this is a conversation, an exchange across time and mediums. The way an artist sees can inspire another to feel.
