Shinsei | 神聖

聖なる雪 囁き祝う 冬の祈り Sacred snow descends, Whispers bless the silent shrine, Winter bows in prayer. - Beneath winter’s quiet breath, the shrines rest, cloaked in soft white snow, each flake a whispered prayer, each step a frozen moment in time. Yet in this stillness, the orange paint of pagodas and torii arches does not fade, but glows— a warmth against the winter chill, like embers held in the heart of the frost. The snow may cover, but it cannot dim the fire within, its brilliance a reminder that even in the coldest of seasons, the spirit endures, shining brighter still. - Artist: Ilan Derech Piece: "Shinsei | 神聖" Year: 2024 Location: Hirosaki (弘前市, Japan) Technique: Composite Cinematography Equipement: ARRI Alexa Mini
