Unreachable - A Surreal Metaphor of Childhood Dreams
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this composite image captured by photographer Richard Desmarais, a young boy stands outdoors, gazing up at an unattainable swing. The allegorical scene unfolds against a backdrop of cloudy skies, adding to the surreal and dreamlike atmosphere. The composition serves as a powerful metaphor for the challenges and aspirations faced during childhood. The boy's short stature symbolizes his limitations and innocence, while the swing represents his desires and dreams that seem out of reach. As he stands there in contemplation, one can almost feel the weight of his longing. The arid climate surrounding him further emphasizes the notion of an insurmountable obstacle. It reflects not only physical barriers but also emotional ones that may hinder personal growth or self-discovery. Desmarais' use of composites adds depth to the image, blurring boundaries between reality and imagination. The vertical perspective enhances the feeling of looking up towards something greater than oneself – an elusive goal or unapproachable ideal. With its muted color palette dominated by shades of gray and grey, this photograph evokes a sense of melancholy yet hopefulness. It captures a fleeting moment in time when childhood innocence intersects with teenage introspection. "Unreachable" invites viewers to reflect on their own unattainable dreams from their past or present lives. It reminds us that even though some goals may seem out-of-reach initially, they are worth pursuing with determination and resilience.
