Trees and Crows 2006

"Trees and Crows" (2006) is a photograph by renowned Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami. Known for his cinematic work, Kiarostami also explored photography, often capturing simple, everyday scenes with a poetic sensibility. This image, showcasing a lone crow amidst a row of tree trunks, exemplifies this style. The stark contrast between the rough bark of the foreground tree and the smooth, pale trunks behind creates a sense of depth and mystery, inviting viewers to ponder the relationship between nature and human presence.
