Die Quelle (The Spring) 1980

"Die Quelle" (The Spring), a 1980 black and white photograph by German artist Dieter Appelt, captures a mysterious and evocative scene. The image depicts a small pool of water nestled within a rocky crevice, the water's surface blurred, suggesting the presence of a hidden figure. Appelt's work often explores themes of nature, the human body, and the passage of time, and this photograph is a powerful testament to his artistic vision. The image's enigmatic quality invites viewers to contemplate the relationship between nature and humanity.
